Eye Diseases

The Importance of Eye Health and Everyday Risk

Our eyes are among our most vital senses, allowing us to perceive the world and maintain our daily routines in a healthy way. However, the conditions of modern life can unknowingly pose serious threats to our eye health. Habits such as spending long hours in front of a computer or phone screen, exposure to sunlight without protection, poor diet, lack of sleep, and smoking can lead to problems like eye fatigue, dryness, and reduced visual quality over time.

In addition to all of this, eye health is often only taken seriously when a problem is felt. Yet many eye diseases can progress without showing symptoms and may only be detected early through regular check-ups.

Conscious Approaches to Protecting Eye Healt

Adopting conscious lifestyle habits plays a major role in preventing eye diseases or detecting them at an early stage. To maintain healthy vision, it is important to have regular eye check-ups not only when a problem arises but even in the absence of symptoms. A balanced diet, limiting screen time, maintaining good eye hygiene, and establishing a quality sleep routine all help preserve the natural structure and function of the eyes for many years.

Additionally, wearing protective sunglasses against harmful UV rays and avoiding harmful habits can help prevent vision loss in later years. On this page, you’ll find preventive measures you can take to protect your eye health, along with basic information about common eye conditions.

During this appointment, our expert ophthalmologists will conduct a thorough assessment of your eyes to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
4: Treatment
Once the comprehensive preliminary examination is complete and both you and our team have made an informed decision regarding your laser eye treatment, it’s time to begin the actual procedure. At our clinic in Rotterdam, you will be warmly welcomed and guided through the next stage of the process.
5: Post-Treatment Check-up
Proper and consistent aftercare is essential for a successful recovery following laser eye surgery. One of the most important steps in this process is the follow-up examination, during which your eye doctor will check your eyes and assess your healing progress. These check-ups help support optimal healing and allow for early detection of any possible complications.
Contact Lens Treatments Contact Lens Treatments
Contact lenses are thin, transparent, and curved lenses placed on the corneal surface of the eye. They can be used to correct vision problems, for cosmetic purposes, or for medical reasons. Compared to eyeglasses, contact lenses offer a wider field of vision and provide greater comfort during sports or daily activities.
Red Eye Disease Treatment Red Eye Disease Treatment
Red eye is a condition where the white part of the eye appears red due to the dilation or inflammation of blood vessels. It can be accompanied by discomfort, watering, itching, and sometimes vision problems. Red eye usually results from an issue affecting the outer layer of the eye, and identifying the underlying cause is important for proper treatment.
Keratoconus – Corneal Diseases Keratoconus – Corneal Diseases
Keratoconus is a condition in which the corneal tissue, known as the transparent layer of the eye, becomes cone-shaped, bulging forward and thinning over time. This distortion of the cornea causes nearsightedness and irregular astigmatism, leading to reduced vision and a decline in visual quality.
Corneal Inflammation – Keratitis Treatment Corneal Inflammation – Keratitis Treatment
Corneal inflammation, also known as keratitis, is an eye condition resulting from inflammation of the cornea. The transparent structure of the cornea can become cloudy due to inflammation, which negatively affects visual quality. Keratitis may be caused by infections, but it can also occur due to trauma or excessive use of contact lenses.
Macular Degeneration and Retinal Disease Treatment Macular Degeneration and Retinal Disease Treatment
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), commonly known as the "yellow spot disease," is a condition that typically occurs after the age of 65 and involves the loss of cells in the macula—the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. It is one of the most common causes of vision loss in older adults. There are two types of macular degeneration: dry and wet.
Eye Tremor – Nystagmus Treatment Eye Tremor – Nystagmus Treatment
Eye tremor, or nystagmus, is a condition where the eyes make involuntary and repetitive movements. These movements are usually horizontal, vertical, or circular, and typically occur in both eyes simultaneously. Eye tremor can be present from birth (congenital) or develop later in life, and it is often a sign of an underlying health condition.
Stye Treatment Stye Treatment
A stye is a painful, red, and swollen bump that occurs as a result of an infection in the oil glands or eyelash follicles on the eyelid. It is usually caused by bacterial infections and is classified as either an internal or external stye.
Eye Disorders Treatment Eye Disorders Treatment
Eye disorders are among the common problems that affect daily quality of life and can be corrected with appropriate treatment methods.
Dry Eye Treatment Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye is a condition caused by a decrease in the amount of tears that keep the surface of the eye moist or by a decline in tear quality. This condition leads to symptoms such as burning, irritation, redness, and stinging. In more advanced stages, it can cause blurred vision and even ulcers on the eye surface that do not heal.
Diabetes (Diabetic Retinopathy) Diabetes (Diabetic Retinopathy)
Diabetes can cause damage to many organs in the body and may also affect the retina of the eye, leading to a condition called Diabetic Retinopathy. The severity of the damage depends on blood sugar levels and the duration of the disease.
Lazy Eye and Strabismus Lazy Eye and Strabismus
Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) is a condition that can occur as part of the process in which visual ability develops through exposure to visual stimuli. Every baby is born with significant hyperopia (farsightedness), and vision develops as the eyes are stimulated. Proper visual input to both eyes, followed by processing in the retina and brain, is essential for healthy visual development.
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Treatment Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Treatment
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a condition that occurs in premature infants due to abnormal development of blood vessels in the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive layer located at the back of the eye, where visual processing takes place.
Glaucoma Treatment (Intraocular Pressure Management) Glaucoma Treatment (Intraocular Pressure Management)
Glaucoma, also known as ocular hypertension, is a condition in which the optic nerve is damaged due to elevated intraocular pressure. This damage initially leads to a narrowing of the visual field and may eventually result in vision loss. It is the second leading cause of vision loss worldwide, following cataracts.
