Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye occurs when tears are not able to provide adequate lubrication for the eyes, leading to grittiness, redness, and screen-induced eye strain.
Refractive Errors (Myopia & Astigmatism)
Refractive errors prevent light from focusing properly on the retina, causing nearsightedness or astigmatism, corrected with precision spectacles .
Corneal Ulcer & Keratitis
A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea caused by bacterial or fungal infections, requiring urgent ophthalmic intervention .
Stye & Chalazion
