Ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage the delicate structures of the eye, potentially leading to long-term issues like cataracts or macular degeneration. While most prescription glasses are now made with built-in UV filters, it’s important to check with your optician to ensure your lenses offer adequate protection — especially if your glasses are a few years old.

Some contact lenses also include UV filters, but they don’t cover the entire eye, so they shouldn’t be your only form of protection.

This summer, protect your vision with the same care you give the rest of your health. Speak to your optician about UV protection options for your eyewear or book an appointment with Gurjeet Jutley in oxford for expert advice on keeping your eyes safe under the sun.

Cortical cataracts are a type of cataract that forms on the outer edges of the eye’s natural lens and gradually moves toward the centre, creating a spoke like pattern. Over time, this can cause significant visual disturbances, including increased sensitivity to glare, reduced contrast, and difficulties with depth perception.

Often linked to ageing, these cataracts may progress slowly, making regular eye examinations crucial for early detection and management. If you’re experiencing any changes in your vision or have concerns about cortical cataracts, our expert ophthalmologist, Gurjeet Jutley, is here to help.
