Sjögren Syndrome

Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune health problem. It’s a disease where the body’s immune system attacks its own cells and tissues. With Sjögren syndrome, white blood cells fight the glands that make moisture in the body and primarily attack the tear glands and salivary glands. It most often affects women over age 40.

Ectropion

Ectropion is an eyelid that sags or turns outward. It often affects one or both lower eyelids. Ectropion leaves the eye too exposed. The eye can become dry, irritated, and even infected. This can lead to serious problems. In some cases it can lead to loss of eyesight.

Understanding Corneal Ring Implantation

Corneal ring implantation is a type of eye surgery. It puts a small ring of plastic into the cornea. It is done to fix an eyesight problem, so you can see more clearly.

Convergence Insufficiency

Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a problem with the way the eye moves. It makes it hard to focus on things nearby. When the eyes converge, it means they point inward (toward the midline) to focus on something close. With CI, the eyes have trouble doing this. One eye may turn out instead of looking inward. CI can cause blurred vision, double vision, and eyestrain.
