Cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. The lens is the primary focusing mechanism of the eye. As we age, this crystal clear lens becomes cloudy and yellow and loses its elasticity, or ability to change focus. When this occurs, it is called a cataract.
Tears matter. They act as a lubricant, cleanser, and antibacterial defense for your eyes. Secreted by glands located around the eyes, tears are made up of water (providing moisture), oil (providing lubrication), mucus (providing evening spreading), and special proteins and antibodies (providing resistance against infection).
You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They are called floaters. You can often see them when looking at a plain background, like a blank wall or blue sky. Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye.
At Southern Eye Group of Alabama, we’re passionate about helping our patients achieve great vision. Our ophthalmologists and optometrists, and their highly-trained team of eye care specialists, work hard to customize treatment to the unique needs of every patient.
Glaucoma is a common eye disorder that damages the optic nerve, which is what sends images from the eye to the brain. It is not one singular condition, but an entire group of disorders with a common label.
Regardless of your age or physical health, it’s important to have regular eye exams. During a complete eye exam, the Doctors at the Southern Eye Group of AL will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, but will also check your eyes for common eye disorders and diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
You may have symptoms in one or both eyes when you have an infection. Look out for this kind of trouble: How your eye feels, how your eye looks, and how well you see.
We specialize in the treatment of these symptoms and are here to support you in your time of need.
