| significant unequal refractive error between two eyes | anisometropia |
| blurred vision caused by irregular curvature of the cornea or lens | Astigmatism Ast |
| clouding of the lens of the eye | Cataracts |
| non infected obstruction of an oil gland of the eyelid | chalazion |
| yellowish deposits located under the retina | drusen |
| eye disorder characterized by increase of intraocular pressure. may lead to visual impairment or optic nerve damage | Glaucoma |
| Farsightedness | hyperopia |
| hemorrhage with in the anterior chamber of the eye Blunt trauma | hyphema |
| progressive deterioration of the portion of the retina called macula loss of central vision | macular degeneration |
| Nearsightedness | myopia |
| poor vision at night or in faint light | nyctalopia |
| involuntary jerking movements of the eye | nystagmus |
| yellowish mass on the conjunctiva that may be related to long term exposure to UV light dry climates and dust | pinguecula |
| impaired vision as a result of aging | presbyopia |
| thin tissue growing onto the cornea from the conjunctiva usually caused by sun exposure | pterygium |
| separation of retina from choroid in back of eye | retinal detachment |
