Blurred vision may indicate diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma

Blurred vision may indicate diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma

Blurred vision usually indicates a picture of myopia, astigmatism or hyperopia, especially in children and young people. But these symptoms may indicate another eye disease called keratoconus.

Myopia can occur at preschool age and develop into 20 years of age, then in most cases stabilizing. Farsightedness can arise from birth and in some cases regress until its disappearance. Astigmatism, however, evolves very little and is maintained. However, if this astigmatism develops, it may be a symptom of a corneal disease called keratoconus, which should be evaluated by the ophthalmologist and treated with contact lens or corneal transplantation. In some cases, children do not they know if the vision is blurry or not. Hence the parents' obligation to have a consultation between 4 and 6 years of age even if there is no complaint or no notice of abnormality, such as deviated eyes, white pupil, etc. In youth, blurring impairs vision in class and at work.

And adults often find vision blurry normal. Hence the need for periodic exams after the age of 40 to diagnose the most common causes of glaucoma, cataracts, retinal degeneration and presbyopia.

In cases where blurred or blurred vision occurs in only one eye, immediately seek the ophthalmologist. The blurring of only one eye may indicate tumor, optic neuritis, complications of diabetes, and stroke. Whenever there is a doubt or suspicion that the vision of one or two eyes is altered one should seek an ophthalmologist to examine the cause of this loss of vision.

Cigarette smokers are more likely to need endodontic treatment

After a 30-year study, it was found that people who smoke cigarettes are more likely to require endodontic treatment (channel treatment) when compared to nonsmokers. "We found that cigarette smokers are 70 percent more likely to need endodontic treatment than nonsmokers," said Elizabeth Krall Kaye, Ph.
