Photophobia
Abnormal sensitivity and discomfort from light.

Presbyopia
The age-related inability of the crystalline lens to change or accommodate to focus on near objects (normally occurs in individuals over age 40). Patients require a prescription to see tasks clearly and up close.

Pterygium
A triangular fold of growing membrane, which may extend toward the cornea from the sclera.

Ptosis
Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelid, may occur for several reasons such as: disease, injury, birth defect, previous eye surgery and age. In most cases, it is caused by either a weakness of the levator muscle (muscle that raises the lid), or a problem with the nerve that sends messages to the muscle.
