In the early stages, AMD may have no symptoms. When the disease progresses, the symptoms include distortion of straight lines, changes in colour perception, decreased ability to see in low light.
The symptoms of Glaucoma might start slowly, and you may not notice them till it is too late. There is no cure for glaucoma, but early treatment can help to manage the damage and protect your vision.
A child's myopia may progress rapidly if it goes undetected and is not properly managed at an early age.High level of myopia can increase the risk of eye-diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment.
