látásproblémát

A látásprobléma or vision problem refers to any impairment in the ability to see. These issues can range in severity from mild blurriness to complete blindness. Common causes of vision problems include refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. These occur when the eye's shape prevents light from focusing properly on the retina.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting central vision. Cataracts, a clouding of the eye's lens, also impair vision and are treatable with surgery. Glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye, can damage the optic nerve and lead to peripheral vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, affects blood vessels in the retina and can cause significant vision impairment or blindness.

Other causes can include eye infections, injuries, and neurological conditions. Symptoms of vision problems can vary widely and may include blurry or double vision, difficulty seeing at night, seeing halos around lights, and floaters. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing many vision problems and preserving sight. Regular eye examinations are recommended for all age groups to identify and address potential issues.
