Are you at risk for glaucoma? You might be, if someone in your family has been diagnosed with this condition, because it tends to run in families. It’s also more common in those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or extreme nearsightedness.

Did you know that the typical cornea, the covering in the front of the eye, is normally curved like a basketball? Changes in the shape of the cornea cause light to be focused differently and can lead to vision problems. For example, a cornea that is curved more like a football causes blurry, stretched-out images. This condition is known as "astigmatism."

The invention of the printing press in the middle of the 15th century by Johann Gutenberg had a profound effect on the fledgling eyeglass industry. Another huge spike in the demand for spectacles came in the early 17th century after the first newspaper – the London Gazette – appeared on the scene.

Acanthamoeba is an organism that rarely causes infections, but when it does, it can threaten a person’s vision. Acanthamoeba keratitis can be common in contact lenses and in the cornea.

While cataracts due to aging are the most common, there are several other types of cataracts, according to experts. Babies can be born with cataracts or cataracts can develop after some type of eye trauma. It’s also possible for cataracts to develop after eye surgery for other eye issues. Cataracts also have been linked to diabetes.
