ADRIANA'S EYESPOT

                                                                  Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people over 40 and are the principal cause of blindness in the world. There are most cases of cataracts worldwide than glaucoma. Cataract refers to any opacity within the crystalline lens. Opacities may be acquired or congenital, focal or generalized, large or small, multiple or singular, and may affect any layer of the lens, nucleus or cortex, anterior or posterior.

                     One of the most vexing issues facing the eye world is the matter of intraocular pressure and its relationship to glaucoma (an eye defect caused by an imbalance in intra-ocular pressure of the eye). Optic Nerve damage is present mostly in eyes with elevated IOP and its rare to find glaucoma in eyes with low IOP.

Vision is arguably the most precious gift of nature as it enables us to perceive and appreciate the beautiful things of life. Like; raindrops on roses, a Plainfield with those pretty little flowers dancing with the wind, and creeping crawling insects with colourful cuticles. How about the colorful shells and peacefulness of the early morning beach or river banks.
