Cataract
Acute infections of the eyelid—those that flare up with little or no warning—are irritating and can affect your vision. You may have
symptoms such as itchy or burning eyes, blurred vision, gritty or granular sensations, or oily tears. These conditions are caused by either blepharitis, a medical term that means inflammation of the eyelid, or meibomianitis, inflammation of the oil-producing glands of the eye.

Why Do My Eyes Hurt?
Your eyes and your vision are, obviously, among the most essential of your biological resources. So it can be quite disconcerting when your eyes are suddenly hurting for seemingly no reason.
Diabetic Eye Complications
Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing epidemics, both at home and worldwide.
In fact, it’s estimated that 1 in 10 Americans (and 1 in 4 seniors) already lives with the disease, whether they know it yet or not. Globally there are more than 400 million people with diabetes—and that number is expected to get a lot bigger in the coming decades.
Eyes and Aging
Sooner or later, aging begins to catch up with all of us.
Sure, you can (and should!) continue to take good care of yourself by eating right, getting lots of exercise, and taking smart precautions. Doing so will help you enjoy better strength and health much later in life.
