Children vision problem :

➳ Amblyopia is also known as lazy eye. It is a common vision problem among children, where the vision in one or both eyes are not developed properly.

➳ There are different conditions that may cause amblyopia including :
1. Strabismus (the eyes point in two different directions)
2. Refractive error
3. Cloudy lenses (infantile cataract)
4. Droopy eyelids

➳ Amblyopia is diagnosed by an optometrist. A thorough eye examination is carried out to determine what causes the lazy eye and is treated accordingly.

➳ Children are advised to have an eye test by the age of 4.

➳ Treating the lazy eye is crucial in order to avoid livelong vision problems.

The importance of vision screening :

➳ A child’s vision is still developing and can be vulnerable to eye disease. Untreated infection, refractive error and misaligned eyes can harm vision. By finding and treating problems early, healthy vision can develop.

➳ A child should be “screened” for eye problems and referred to an optometrist for a comprehensive exam if required.

➳ The signs of vision problems in kids :
1. Short attention span
2. Skipping words / lines when reading
3. Avoiding close activities
4. Turning their head to the side.

➳ Remember that vision problems do not cause learning disabilities, unless left unattended.

➳ Keratoconus is when the cornea thins out and bulges like a cone. The distorted shape of the cornea brings light rays out of focus. As a result, your vision is blurry and distorted, making daily tasks like reading or driving difficult.

➳ Early symptoms include :
i. mild blurring of vision
ii. distorted vision (straight lines may appear wavy/bent)
iii. increased sensitivity to light and glare
iv. eye redness and swelling

➳ Keratoconus can be diagnosed through a routine eye exam and can be treated by your optometrist and ophthalmologist depending on your symptoms.

➳ TIP : If you are diagnosed with keratoconus, AVOID rubbing your eyes. This can damage thin corneal tissue and make your symptoms worse.

➳ Cataract is one of the most common eye condition, affecting people as they grow older. The clear lens becomes cloudy. It is an age-related changes in the eyes. It can sometimes occur due to trauma to the eyes or other medical conditions. Some people may be born with cataract or may develop them during childhood.

➳ The lens is made of protein and water. With time, the protein and water clump together thus making the lens cloudy. Light is unable to pass clearly through the eyes. It eventually can cause blurry vision, poor night vision and glare.

➳ Ophthalmologists can remove the cataract through cataract surgery.

➳ For better understanding of cataract and its impact on your vision, watch this short video.

The use of electronic devices prior to sleeping has harmful impacts on our eyes as well as our general health. It also leads to sleep deprivation.

➳ Why else is blue light bad for you? One reason is because it tends to cause “eye strain". Staring into the screens of digital devices for long periods causes the eyes to absorb a lot of unfocused light, which leads to squinting, irritation, dryness of the eyes, trouble focusing and what feels like eye fatigue.

➳ Here are the steps to limit the exposure to blue light
1. Avoid the use of electronic devices close to bedtime.
2. Filter the blue light by the use of spectacles and application on your electronic devices.
3. Get adequate sunlight exposure during day-time.

Have you experienced a sudden burning sensation followed by excessive tearing? Allergies are not always the cause.

➳ Eyes tend to burn when they dry out. With the evaporation of water comes the stinging, burning sensation in the eyes.

➳ A natural way to increase the amount of oil tears is placing warm compresses or dry eye masks over your eyes for around five minutes.

➳ When allergy season hits, over the counter medications and topical eye drops can help with additional symptoms of itchy and watery eyes.

➳ If it’s been a few weeks and compresses and using artificial tears isn’t helping, it’s time to see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist.

CHOOSING FRAME FOR YOUR SPECTACLE LENSES
What’s in a Frame?

Choosing a frame for your glasses can be a daunting task, but choosing the right frame is important because eyewear frames can truly enhance your appearance, just as your lenses enhance your vision.

➳ Glasses should fit securely on the bridge of the nose, without pinching the nose. The frames should not press into the face at any point. When the wearer moves his head, or even bends over and touches the floor, the frames should stay in place.

➳ Frames come in a variety of material and colours. They are of varying durability, weight, and price. There are designer brands and less expensive brands, and some are made of hypoallergenic materials while others are not.
Having the right fit for glasses will make them more comfortable to wear, and the wearer will avoid having painful red marks pressed into the bridge of his nose. People like their glasses to be comfortable and easy to wear. In a recent survey conducted by the Vision Council of America, 88 percent of people surveyed said that comfort was their first priority in choosing frames for their eye glasses.

➳ Considering these many options, it is important to find frames that not only suit your style and are fitted to the shape of your face, but are also suited for your prescription and lifestyle. It is important to understand the importance of durability, consistency of finish and manufacturer, company reliability, and style appeal. These qualities are not always found in lesser quality frames or vendors.

➳ Even more important, having eye glasses fit properly gives the best vision correction. When eye glasses sit crookedly on, or slide down the nose, the angle of vision is changed and vision through corrective lenses is less accurate. Well fitted glasses are important for both comfort and eyesight.
Allow yourself to be guided by a specialist (Opticians or Optometrists) when choosing the right type of frames for your prescribed spectacles lenses.
The length of the temple on the frame will also influence the way eye glasses fit. If the temples are too short, the entire frame will be pulled too close to the face, and the bridge of the eye glasses will press painfully into the wearer’s nose. If the temples are too long, the glasses will slide down the wearer’s nose and distort his vision.

➳ In general, plastic frames rest directly on the nose, while metal frames are supported by nose pads. Even so, metal frames must have the right bridge size if the glasses are to fit the wearer properly. The nose pads primarily spread the weight of the glasses over a larger area, so they will be more comfortable.

➳ Adjusting the nose pad arms will change the way the eye glasses sit on the nose. Pressing the nose pads closer together will make the glasses sit higher on the nose. If the glasses slide down the nose frequently, moving the nose pads closer together will usually solve the problem. Spreading the nose pads further apart will cause the glasses to sit lower on the nose.

➳ When eye glasses are sitting crookedly on the nose, usually the temples of the eye glasses need to be adjusted. Many people have one ear that is very slightly higher than the other. Adjusting the temples to compensate for this lets the frames sit evenly on the wearer’s nose.

➳ You should always consult a professional before choosing a frame. If you have never purchased a pair of glasses, you may not know that there is much more to it than just getting a prescription and picking out your favorite frames.

➳ There are other considerations, such as the shape of your face, your skin tone, your lifestyle needs, lens designs, lens features, etc. Most opticians can assess your prescriptions, face shape, and skin tone without you even knowing they have done so.

➳ When you visit your optician, however, they will ask you a few questions about your lifestyle and fashion needs in order to better help you in choosing the right frame.
