A common eye condition that can be medically treated is conjunctivitis, otherwise known as pink eye. This condition occurs when the tissue of the eyelid and eyeball become inflamed and dry. Pink eye can be caused by bacteria, STDs, irritants like smoke or chlorine from a swimming pool. The type of treatment recommended would depend on whether your pink eye is a result of allergies or infection.
Ocular hypertension can mean any abnormal pressure in the eye, and is not an eye disease in itself, though it is also commonly a factor in other conditions such as glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye disease that can develop from ocular hypertension, and means that there is damage to the optic nerve. Prescription drugs would help to lessen the pressure inside the eyes, and in the case of glaucoma, is often taken for the rest of your life. Obviously, this means there is a long-term financial cost to maintaining your eye health. Canada Drug Pharmacy offers the most affordable online drugs for glaucoma, eye allergies and all other eye conditions as well.
