Eye Diseases That Lead to Vision Loss or Blindness

Good eyesight is a gift many people don’t acknowledge until they reach the age when their vision starts to fail. Most Canadians will experience one of the four primary eye diseases that cause blindness in their life. Cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration are leading causes of vision loss.

Some of these eye problems are highly treatable, while others cause permanent damage and require management to avoid further loss of eyesight. Regular eye exams with Dr. Raymond Stein and the doctors at Bochner Eye Institute are the best way to fight vision loss.
