Seeing Clearly
Visual problems can affect us at any age and sometimes without obvious symptoms. Regular eye tests every two years are crucial for managing your vision throughout your lifetime.
Visual problems can be experienced from early childhood right through to late adulthood.
If you're concerned about your eyesight or your child's, it is important to organise an
eye examination as soon as possible.
Common Vision Problems
Longsightedness - difficulty seeing up close.
Shortsightedness - difficulty seeing in the distance.
Presbyopia - blurred vision caused by ageing (beginning in our 40s or 50s).
Astigmatism - where the eye is shaped more like a rugby ball than a tennis ball.
Binocular vision problems - when the eyes don't function well together to provide
clear single vision.
Lazy eye - when the brain does not receive the same visual information from both eyes,
it can effectively switch off the vision in one eye in order to obtain a clear picture.
Colour blindness - inability to see certain colours, particularly red and green.
Eye fatigue - eye muscle fatigue resulting from prolonged periods at a computer (known
as computer vision syndrome) and other electronic devices such as portable game consoles.
The vision problems outlined above are not the only conditions that can affect vision, however, they are the most common. This information is provided as a reference only and should not be used in place of expert optometrist advice. You can book an appointment here.
