Common eye problems and symptoms

Eye problems can also be symptoms of an eye condition

Eye problems include things like dry eyes, watery eyes or bloodshot eyes, and these problems are often symptoms of an eye condition. Eye problems are often easily treated, resolve themselves, or disappear once the cause of the problem has been treated.

An introduction to eye problems

The eyes are delicate organs that can face a number of problems.

By ‘problems’ I mean anything that affects the eyes that is not a medically diagnosed condition. These eye problems, in fact, are often symptoms of eye conditions.

What are the causes of eye problems?

Eye problems have a huge range of causes, depending on the specific problem. Head to our individual eye problem pages on the right hand side for some more detailed information.

Eye problems can generally be caused by:

An eye condition

A foreign body in the eye

Being overworked

Environmental factors such as weather, wind or pollution

Lifestyle factors such as your job or hobbies

Treatment for eye problems

The treatment of eye problems really depends on the problem, and what the root cause is. You’ll find some conventional treatment and self-help advice for eye problems and eye conditions throughout A.Vogel Talks Eye Health.

Many eye problems can be treated using Euphrasia, a herb that has traditionally been used for eye health, earning its alternative name, Eyebright. This is particularly usedul for dry, tired and itchy eyes as it helps lubricate and cleanse the eye. I recommend using Euphrasia eye drops.

In addition, the A.Vogel vision complex is a great supplement for general eye health. It contains many of the vital nutrients needed for healthy eyes such as lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc and beta-carotene.
