Chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins, often associated with bacterial overgrowth or skin conditions.

Clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to progressive visual impairment.

A group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to elevated intraocular pressure.

Degeneration of the central retina (macula) causing loss of central vision, common in older adults.

Separation of the retina from the underlying tissue, an ophthalmic emergency.
