Understanding Your Vision

How Ocular Disease Affects What You See

These images show how common eye conditions can change everyday experiences — from driving at night to enjoying a scenic view.

Cataracts

Cataracts scatter incoming light, causing bright starbursts and halos around headlights and street lamps — a key reason night driving becomes unsafe.

Prescriptions and Surface Disease

Basic prescriptions, corneal irregularities and severe dry eye can cause blur across the entire visual field, reducing contrast and fine detail.

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a common eye condition that affects the macular or central vision of the eye.  If untreated or undiagnosed, permanent central vision damage may occur.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a slow painless loss of vision starting in the periphery and moving toward the center. Left untreated, it can lead to blindness.
