Macular Degeneration
#macular degeneration, #macula, #retina, #decreased vision, #eye injection, #dry macular degeneration, #wet macular degeneration, #lutein, #blurry vision, #difficulty seeing, #hazy vision
Macular degeneration is a condition in which the macula — the central part of the retina — is damaged, leading to decreased vision. In severe cases it can lead to blindness, but early detection and consistent treatment can help slow its progression. If you are 50 or older, please have regular retinal examinations.2026-06-26

Meniere's disease is a condition in which excess endolymph builds up in the inner ear, raising the pressure and causing repeated episodes of dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. The inner ear is the innermost part of the ear and consists of the cochlea, which is responsible for hearing, and the vestibular organ, which is responsible for balance. If left untreated, hearing and vestibular function may worsen permanently. Please consult an otolaryngology (ENT) specialist.2026-06-26

A pituitary tumor is a tumor that develops in the pituitary gland, a small organ in the middle of the brain. Most are benign tumors and are not cancer. As the tumor grows or hormone secretion is disrupted, various symptoms can appear, so if you have suspected symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Retinal Artery Occlusion
#retinal artery occlusion, #retina, #decreased vision, #eye stroke, #central retinal artery occlusion, #high blood pressure, #diabetes, #blurry vision, #difficulty seeing, #hazy vision
Retinal artery occlusion is a condition in which the artery that supplies blood to the retina is suddenly blocked. Like a stroke, in which a blood vessel in the brain is blocked, it damages the nerve cells involved in vision, and it is sometimes called an 'eye stroke.' If sudden vision loss occurs, seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room or ophthalmology department.2026-06-26

Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea — the iris, ciliary body, and choroid — inside the eye. It can cause redness, pain, and reduced vision, and in severe cases can lead to blindness. If symptoms occur, please consult an ophthalmology specialist without delay.2026-06-26
