The eyes are the optical components of
the visual system. The other components consist of the
extra-ocular muscles, the optic nerves, the visual pathways
and the visual cortex in the brain.
The Effects of Aging
The Effects of Ultraviolet Rays (UV)
Often leads to inflammation on the surface
of the eyes and contributes to the development of cataracts
and leads to a degeneration of the retina in the back
of the eye.
The Importance of Regular Examinations
Regular examinations are important to
monitor visual performance and efficiency as well as
ocular health.
Why Do We Dilate the Pupils?
The purpose of dilating the eye is to
open the pupil and allow for complete view of all intra-ocular
structures.
Effects of Systemic Disease on the eyes
Many systematic diseases manifest themselves
in the form of changes in the eye. Diabetes has some
of the most profound effects on the eyes and is the
leading cause of blindness in the United States.
High blood pressure, when not properly controlled, can
also cause changes inside the eyes.
