However, there are ways to improve your vision. These include:

• Wearing glasses – a simple and safe way to correct your vision.
• Wearing contact lenses – these are worn directly on the eye.
• Having laser surgery – using a laser beam to change the shape of your cornea.
• Having intraocular lens surgery – your lens is replaced with an artificial lens called intraocular lens.

• Currently, there is no other way to get rid of cataracts besides surgery.
• No eyedrops can make your cataracts to go away.

• It is not possible for a cataract to come back because the lens, where the cataract grows, has been removed.
• The new lens implant will last a lifetime and will not need maintenance or replacement.
• However, there is the risk that the membrane that lies behind the replacement lens can become cloudy. This is called Posterior Capsular Opacification or PCO.
• A painless, outpatient procedure called laser capsulotomy to remove the PCO will be performed, and this only takes a few minutes.

• Treatment depends on the cause.
• Consult your eye doctor for a comprehensive examination to properly diagnose the condition.

• Comprehensive eye exams performed by your optometrist.
• Your optometrist will refer your to a glaucoma specialist for further tests and treatment.

Treatment will depend on the type of macular degeneration you have.

There is currently no treatment available for dry AMD, but the wet type can sometimes be helped, if it is detected early.

If there are signs of wet macular degeneration, your optometrist will refer you to the hospital for prompt treatment, which can involve injections and sometimes light therapy.

The vast majority of pinguecula cases are harmless and only require simple treatment, like eye drops.

• Your eye doctor will perform a comprehensive eye examination to diagnose uveitis.
• Blood tests, x-rays and eye fluid tests are often needed to diagnose the condition.
