Uveitis
Uveitis is an inflammation or swelling of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea. A number of viral, fungal, and bacterial infections, as well as certain autoimmune disorders, may contribute to uveitis. A few of its symptoms include redness in the eyes, eye pain, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. Uveitis can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated early.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is an eye disease characterized by damage to the optic nerve, which transmits visual information to the brain. In this condition, abnormally high pressure builds up inside the eye. When it is in its initial stages, this condition does not cause any pain or produce any symptoms. If the damage worsens, noticeable vision loss occurs and eventually leads to blindness or even permanent vision loss.
