A corneal ulcer is a break in the outer layer or epithelium of the cornea. Ulceration of the cornea typically presents with a red, painful eye, with mild to severe discharge and reduced vision. The condition represents a localized infection of the cornea similar to an abscess.
Long Sight is also known as Hyperopia and is usually inherited, hence it is a disorder rather than disease. Long sight is a refractive error which occurs when the eyeball is too short or when the cornea is too flat when compared to the normal eye. The light entering the eye focuses behind the retina, instead of directly on it hence close objects look blurred.
Macula is a small area of the back of the eye on the retina that allows us to see the finer details more clearly. Macular degeneration causes breakdown of the macula of the eye. When the macula doesn’t function properly, we experience blurriness or darkness in the center of our vision.
