Disorders of the Eye and Visual System
Richmondeye.com contains many
sections discussing eye conditions and disorders, the normal and abnormal visual
system, medical conditions affecting the eye, symptoms and signs of eye
problems, and interactive simulations of various eye conditions.
Read this important information
before proceeding further:
These sections are not intended to replace the professional examination and
diagnosis by a physician, and they are presented here purely for informational purposes.
All possible diagnoses and treatment options are not covered, and the information
discussed should not be taken as a recommendation to self-diagnose and self-treat a
condition. A misdiagnosed or improperly treated eye condition can result in a permanent
loss of vision, or a permanent loss of function of the eye or visual system. In the case
of any eye problem, seek medical attention promptly. This can include emergency room
treatment, as well as treatment by a medical physician or eyecare provider.
