But some eye diseases can lead to vision loss, so it is important to identify the causes of eye diseases and treat them as early as possible. So knowledge is power, especially when dealing with health issues concerning your eyes. Understanding each part of your eye and what it does and how the eye works can help give perspective to your condition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lens<\/strong> is the clear part of the eye behind the iris that helps to focus light on the retina. It allows the eye to focus on both far and near objects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Iris<\/strong> is the colored part of the eye. It regulates the amount of light entering the eye through the pupil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pupil (PYOO-pul)<\/strong> is the opening at the center of the iris. The iris adjusts the size of the pupil and controls the amount of light that can enter the eye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornea (KOR-nee-uh)<\/strong> is the clear dome covering the front of your eye. It helps your eye focus light so things look sharp and clear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sclera (SKLEH-ruh)<\/strong> is the white outer coating of the eye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitreous humor (VIT-ree-us HYOO-mer)<\/strong> is the clear gel that fills the inside of the eye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optic nerve (OP-tic nurv)<\/strong> is the bundle of more than one million nerve fibers that carry visual messages from the retina to the brain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Retina (REH-tin-uh)<\/strong> is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eyeball. It sends electrical impulses through the optic nerve to the brain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Common Vision Problems&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%230088cc&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;]Here are some common vision problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unusual trouble adjusting to dark rooms<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty focusing on near or distant objects<\/li>\n<li>Squinting or blinking due to unusual sensitivity to light or glare<\/li>\n<li>Change in color of iris<\/li>\n<li>Red-rimmed, encrusted, or swollen lids<\/li>\n<li>Recurrent pain in or around the eyes<\/li>\n<li>Double vision<\/li>\n<li>Dark spot at the center of viewing<\/li>\n<li>Image distortion<\/li>\n<li>Excess tearing or \u201cwatery eyes\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Dry eyes with itching or burning<\/li>\n<li>Seeing spots or ghost-like images<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3042&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;407&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_border&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221; border_width=&#8221;10&#8243; style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row wrap_container=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2866&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;390&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_border&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;] Most people rely on their eyes to see and make sense of the world around them.
