This guide is general education, not a diagnosis or an individual treatment plan. Urgent, severe or worsening symptoms belong with the local emergency service or a qualified clinician.
What this guide covers
This guide covers dry eye (the TFOS framework, screens, and why drops with preservatives make it worse), floaters and the flashes-plus-curtain pattern that is a same-day emergency, conjunctivitis split into viral, bacterial and allergic with the honest antibiotic evidence, stye and chalazion, blepharitis and lid hygiene, computer vision syndrome and what 20-20-20 does and does not do, childhood myopia and the outdoor-time evidence that matters most where winters are dark, cataract, glaucoma and why it is silent, AMD and what the AREDS2 formula contains, diabetic retinopathy screening.
One focused section asks: "New floaters with flashes: the same-day rule".
How to use it
Start with the description that most closely matches your question about Eye problems by condition. Use the evidence section to understand what is known, then use the boundary section to decide when self-education should stop and clinical care should begin.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.

Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.
