The eyes are complex organs. There are many parts that must work together to produce clear vision. Read on to get a basic overview of eye anatomy and learn about common eye conditions and why you should consider booking an eye consultation with Felix today!
Due to the urgency of a potential heart attack, a doctor will likely diagnose a heart attack based on the person’s signs, symptoms,and medical history. They can also perform diagnostic testing.
A cataract is a clouding of the lens, causing blurry or color-tinted vision. People with cataracts often report “haloes” surrounding objects looking at, particularly at night. This condition is most common in older adults.
Cataracts can be removed by surgery that replaces the damaged lens with an artificial lens.
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is gradual damage to the cells of the macula.This condition is most common in people over 60 years of age.
AMD causes blurry vision, especially in the center of the field of view. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
AMD is the most prevalent cause of blindness and vision loss in people over age 65 in the United States.
Amblyopia is commonly referred to as a “lazy eye.” It occurs when vision has not properly developed in the eyes, and the brain begins to favor the eye with better vision.
This happens if one of the eyes is blocked from producing clear images during the critical years from age birth to 6. One eye may be inhibited by problems such as a lid droop, tumor, or misaligned eyes (strabismus) that are not corrected when a child is young.
It is crucial to have an eye doctor evaluate a young child whose eyes do not align or who has vision problems to ensure that the condition is properly diagnosed and treated.
Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the blood vessels of the retina caused by diabetes. It causes blurred or dark spots in the field of vision and can eventually lead to blindness.
The best way to avoid these vision problems is to keep your blood sugars under control and see your eye doctor every year for a dilated eye exam. Proper care can lessen complications.
When the retina separates from the back of the eye, it’s called a detached retina. It causes blurry vision and partial or complete loss of vision and should be treated as a medical emergency.
Dry eye is a lack of tears. It is usually due to a problem with the tear formation, tear ducts, or eyelids, or it is a side effect of certain medications. This condition can cause pain and blurry vision.
Eyes are complex, and it is important to know the different parts and how they function.
Knowing how each part works can help you recognize vision problems and symptoms of common eye conditions so you can get early treatment and maintain your eye health.

Ear infections are one of the most common reasons why parents take kids to the doctor. ENTs usually treat them with antibiotics, but if the infections keep coming back, they may recommend surgery.
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils. Again, doctors often treat it with antibiotics, but if it persists, they may recommend that you get your tonsils taken out.
Sinus problems that last more than 4 months are called chronic sinusitis. ENTs can help get to the bottom of the issue and treat the underlying problem.
Hearing loss is normal as you age. But sudden hearing problems can be a sign of something more serious. Either way, an otolaryngologist will be able to figure out what’s going on and help you get any treatments you need to hear better.
An ENT is different from an audiologist. Audiologists are not doctors. They’re medical professionals who help people with tools like hearing aids and hearing protection devices. So you may see an ENT to get your hearing problem diagnosed and then see an audiologist to get fitted for hearing aids.
A lump in the neck that lasts more than 2 weeks could be a sign of mouth, throat, thyroid, or blood cancer. Cancers that start in these areas often spread to the lymph nodes in your throat first.
A lump is different from swollen lymph nodes, which can also be a sign of a serious illness but often happen due to common conditions like strep throat or an ear infection.
Snoring is common in adults but unusual in children. It may not be a sign of a serious problem, but it is best to talk to your pediatrician about whether they recommend seeing an ENT. It may be a sign of sleep apnea, which can lead to a problem with bones in the face, or bedwetting.

In addition to cancers of the head and neck, ENT specialists treat benign neck masses, thyroid disorders such as benign and malignant tumors, Grave’s disease, enlarged thyroid glands, parathyroid disease, and more.
Sleep—Being able to breathe and sleep well through the night has an impact on the way we experience life and perform our work. ENT specialists treat sleep-disordered breathing, nasal and airway obstruction, snoring and sleep apnea, and more.
