Lifestyles Ideas Management - Some eye problems

Just that afternoon, one of our church friends, David was sharing on cataracts on one of his eyes. He mentioned that the doctor recommended stronger glasses for reading. And I thought that was funny remarks from a doctor. He should at least recommend a follow up on his eye and not to mention a surgery to remove the clouding. His mother passed a remark that surgery is so expensive these days and told him to opt out for surgery. That is a strange remark from a doting mother perhaps thought that a slip in the surgery will lead to blindness.
I just read an article on UV rays that have been linked to the following eye ailments:

Pterygium
Growth of tissue on the surface of the eye
Redness and feeling of having a foreign body in the eye
Who it affects: More common in tropical climates and among those aged between 20 and 40.
How it is treated: Steroid eye drops and surgery

Macular degeneration
Deterioration of the sensitive retina centre
Some patients have no symptoms, others many experience a blind spot or patch of blurred vision. Who it affects: elderly
Laser treatment can only prevent further damage but not correct the problem.

Cataracts
Clouding of the eye’s lens
Blurring of vision that cannot be corrected by glasses, dull colors, halos around lights.
Who it affects: elderly
Stronger glasses, artificial tears, tinted lenses and cataract surgery

Melanoma
A dangerous form of skin cancer
Moles that is irregular in color or shape
Who it affects: Risk is higher for those with family history and with increased sun exposure. Can be surgically removed; best if detected early.
