Ophthalmic conditions pertain to disorders of the eye and visual system, such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. These conditions can lead to vision impairment or loss if left untreated and may require interventions such as corrective lenses, medications, laser therapy, or surgical procedures to preserve or restore vision. Ongoing research in ophthalmology seeks to develop innovative treatments, improve diagnostic techniques, and address the underlying mechanisms of various eye diseases to better manage and prevent vision loss.
