Eye Conditions

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease somewhat common among premature babies. (A full-term pregnancy is about 38-42 weeks.)

A hyphema is when blood compiles inside the front of the eye. Hyphema is most commonly caused by an injury to the eye.

A corneal ulcer is a sore in the cornea that may be open. It usually results from an eye infection. See your ophthalmologist immediately.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a well-known problem with your retina. It occurs when a part of the retina called the macula is damaged.

Rosacea is an ongoing (chronic) skin condition that causes redness, pimples, broken blood vessels, and a misshapen nose. It most often affects the face and eyes.

Central serous chorioretinopathy is when fluid builds up beneath the retina. This causes swelling and distorts vision.
