Age-related eye diseases, in many cases are not sudden but tend to develop slowly as a person ages. Of the many age-related eye diseases, there are four major ones that are recognized and that can be detected and treated if a comprehensive eye examination is performed. These four age-related eye diseases are Macular Degeneration, Cataracts, Glaucoma and Diabetic Retinopathy are expected to dramatically increases if left untreated can cause serious vision loss and blindness. Populations are most at risk for developing eye disease is unaware of the factors that make them susceptible. However there are certain common preventive measures like taking Healthy Diet, avoiding Smoking and managing Health conditions.

“…Management of patients with orbital lymphangioma has been controversial [55] Multiple subtotal excisions, removing as much of the lymphangioma as possible, has long been recommended [50]. Complete excision is usually impossible because of the diffuse, noncapsulated growth pattern but, lately, conservative management [67,68] has become an alternative choice for management of orbital lymphangioma [56]. Although conservative, most of them were performed after biopsy for diagnosis and there is the possibility of tumor size reduction by stimulation from the biopsy.…”

that necessitates the use of thermal energy should be instructed as well to remove any eye makeup, especially mascara before the procedure [15]. A case of surgical flash fire causing thermal burn of eye lashes, eyelid skin and eye brow hair in a patient who had some residual mascara on her lashes while cautery was applied for an eyelid lesion. It is a clinical set up and is done in the absence of oxygen-rich environment [16]. High myopia is known to be associated with cataract, and a relationship between myopia and cataract have been suggested [17,18]in this review. Although the deprivation of form vision due to cataracts in childhood leads to increase in axial length, and myopia had been reported [19,20] but if the cataract may affect the axial length in adults is still unknown. Many factors can affect the axial length and lead to myopia [23]. Lid closure in early ocular and visual development is well recognized to cause ocular developmental abnormalities [19,21]. Central dense corneal opacities in early childhood may lead to visual deprivation and amblyopia and was shown to increase the ocular axial length [22,23]. Subconjunctival gentamicin inadvertently injected into the vitreous cavity can induce cataract and retinal toxicity [24]. Expectedly, the need for cataract surgery has increased dramatically because of an increased proportion of old aged and the tendency & awareness towards surgery earlier in the disease process [25]. Amblyopia means reduced visual acuity, which is not even improved by corrective glasses, in an eye that is otherwise normal. It is responsible for diminished vision in 1% to 2% of the childhood population, and it is most often associated with strabismus or anisometropia [26]. Occlusion therapy remains the mainstay of amblyopia treatment. Opinions, however, vary on the number of hours of daily patching
