And some eye conditions are based on underlying problems that effect the whole body. Things like diabetes for example. High blood sugars can cause problems not only with obvious things like the kidneys and the heart but with the eyes as well. I have a yearly eye exam for just that reason. After one such exam I had to have some laser treatment on my left eye due to some slight bleeding in the eye. It was just starting to be a problem and the Dr. nipped it in the bud in order to prevent future problems.
