Across
  1. 2. Often unnoticed until it’s too late, I increase eye pressure at a steady rate. I steal your vision bit by bit, until nothing remains where once you’d sit. Who am I?
  2. 5. I bring distant things into a blur, but up close, I'm as sharp as ever. My curve is steep, and I focus near. What am I?
  3. 6. I’m a condition, where sight may fade, From mild to severe, it varies in grade. Standard glasses won’t make me right,see a little, some lose all sight. Navigating places can cause fear. Who am I?
  4. 7. I leave one side dark, often caused by the brain, no injury to eyes, but half-vision remains. Navigating is tricky with only half to see, but therapy and help might aid me. What am I?
  5. 9. As I cloud over time, I make lights harsh and dim. Once a clear lens, now foggy within. What am I?
  6. 10. When sugar’s too high, I damage the eye, causing blurry visions or floaters that fly. What am I?
  7. 11. In the center, I slowly erase what you see, making fine details vanish for me. Often in age, I take my place. Who am I?
Down
  1. 1. I’m not an illness but rather a state, making it hard to see colors straight. When red meets green or blue feels off, I’m often the cause—what am I?
  2. 3. Dots and dashes I display, for fingers to trace and words to convey. For those who cannot see, I’m their written way. What am I?
  3. 4. I make far-off things clear, but close ones are not right. My lens is too short, so near is out of sight. What am I?
  4. 8. With mismatched curves, I create double views; lines and edges won’t look quite as true. A refractive error—what’s my name?
