Browse Through the Pictures of Some Common Eye Diseases

If you're curious, there are many eye diseases that are both interesting and have important visual implications. Here are a few seen in our office. On the other hand, there are conditions that are unusual but not serious and may be just considered unusual. Call Thomas A. Margius, O.D., P.C. to schedule an eye exam today!

First is the staining when using a dye to note a corneal abrasion. A six month old scratched her mother with a sharp fingernail.

Second is the retina from a lovely macular degeneration (AMD) patient.

Third is a corneal transplant. Due to corneal thinning this patient needed his thinning cornea replaced by a donor cornea. Note the running and radial sutures.

Fourth is WOW!!! A welder upon coming home was told by his wife that he needed to come to our office. He had chemosis or an acute swelling of the conjunctiva due to an allergy.

First is an eye with a diabetic cataract. The front surface of the lens has radiating lines due to the continual change in fluid movement in and out of the lens within the eye. This type of cataract causes difficulty with distance and near vision. It is significantly worse at nighttime. This 52 year old Type II Diabetic required cataract surgery in both eyes.

Second is an eye that was healing from a car accident. To help in healing a punctal tube was put into the drainage areas of the eye. The puncta are shown here with a tube leading from the top one to the bottom one. Also, notice a contact lens in this eye.

Third is a congenital cataract in the nucleus or center of the lens from birth. This patient manages a pharmacy and does foreign mission work. She is an angel and the cataract in her eye looks like one! It has minimal effect on her vision.

Fourth is an entropion. This is when the lid turns inward. With this patient the lashes were so soft that it was not a bother to him. If it did cause irritation, it could eventually lead to scarring of the cornea and possible loss of vision. This can be surgically corrected if symptomatic.
