Increasing eye diseases - why?

Any defect in eye structure or function can lead to poor visibility and even blindness.

Thirty years back, eye diseases were not fully understood and were not properly treated. The main work of an eye doctor was limited to checking the glass power and conducting cataract surgery. Later on, thanks to the hard work of researchers and the development of sophisticated instruments many more diseases, leading to blindness were recognized and most of them can be treated now. Therefore many eye diseases have been contained. Eye diseases are frequently diagnosed and are easily treatable. The demand for perfect vision has also made people aware of eye problems. An elderly person with poor eyesight can instinctively recognize someone coming into their homes. They do not need to recognize his features and poor vision does not allow them to do so. On the other hand,for an executive who has to read fine prints, or works on computers for long hours, perfect vision is mandatory. Poor vision can lead to tiredness and headache, thus increasing the demand for spectacles.
