This program from The Doctor Is In looks at such common eye disorders as
presbyopia, torn or detached retinas, astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma, and

exposure to ultraviolet light, lighting during reading, and the relationship
between eyesight and TV viewing. It explains different kinds of glasses and
the benefits and dangers of extended-wear contact lenses, shows a surgical
treatment that eliminates the need for glasses for some people, offers tips
on how to prevent some eye diseases and how to avoid some common eye
injuries, and differentiates between ophthalmologists, optometrists, and
