The optic nerve is a bundle of more than a million nerve fibers connecting the retina to the brain

The retina is the light sensitive layer lining the inner wall of the eyes. It converts the visuals into signals and the brain reads the signal to make sense of it. Retina transmits the signal to brain through the optic nerve. The retina is like the film of a camera. Even if we have an expensive camera, it is important to have a good quality film, to produce good photos. Likewise, if Retina is not properly taken care of, it affects the vision.

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. With early detection and treatment, it is possible to protect your eyes from serious vision loss.

Cornea allows the transmission of light helping the eye to focus the light.

Far sightedness, Near sightedness, and Astigmatism

Farsightedness (hyperopia) is a common vision condition in which you can see distant objects clearly, but objects nearby become blurry

 Nearsightedness(Myopia) occurs when the eyeball is longer than normal, or the cornea is curved steeply. Instead of the light getting focused precisely on your retina, it gets focused in front of your retina, resulting in a blurry appearance for distant objects.

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens is curved more steeply in one direction than the other. If not attended to, Astigmatism blurs the vision.
