Eye Disorders

Most people have eye problems at one time or another. Some are minor and will go away on their own, or are easy to treat at home. Others need a specialists care. The eye disorders that need a specialist’s care can lead to serious problems.  More than 4.2 million Americans are either legally blind or are with low vision.  Some people are born with eye disorders and some develop eye disorders over time.
