Worried about your eyesight?

Your eyesight is extremely important, and not just for what it holds at face value.

Aside from the obvious vision-related problems that can occur naturally as you get older, deterioration of eye health can be an indicator of many other conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

What are sunglasses really doing for your eyes?

Are sunglasses just another stylish accessory or are they the key to good eye health?

There’s definitely a fashion element to sunglasses that people look for, but there are health benefits to wearing sunglasses as well, and the most important benefit of wearing sunglasses is that they protect your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) light.

UV light can have harmful effects on the eyelid, cornea, lens and retina.

The law stipulates that everyone renewing their driver’s license must have their vision screened. Instead of waiting in long queues, you can have your screening conducted by an optometrist. This project is conducted in co-operation with and approved by the licensing departments and the national Department of Transport. The screening does not replace a full eye examination. It will, however, reveal any potential problems you may have before you renew your driver’s license.

You will receive an official certificate stating that you have had your vision screened by an optometrist. The certificate indicates the condition of your vision and will be accepted by the licensing departments.

Having your children’s eyes checked regularly is crucial.

After all, vision plays a critical role in how your child learns about the world. But how early should you start?

Kids should have their first comprehensive eye exam at age 3. Unless their eye doctor suggests otherwise, they should continue to have eye exams every two years.
Eye exams at the optometrist are important even once your child starts school and has visual screenings. Visual screenings test for visual acuity (clarity and sharpness), but healthy eyes are about more than just 20-20 vision.

Other areas of vision such as colour vision or focus and tracking might present problems that aren’t tested for in visual screenings.

Vision and sight are vital to the everyday lives of human beings, from allowing people to navigate their way around and do their work to creating intimacy when eye contact is made with another person. Vision works toward keeping people safe, connecting them with their surroundings and even helping to maintain sharp minds.

Many people think that if they have no visual symptoms, and that there is no need to have their eyes examined once a year. During an eye examination, however, many early signs of potential diseases can be detected and treated before they cause serious problems, for example:

- Glaucoma
- Dry Eye Syndrome
- Cataracts
- High Blood Pressure
- Eye infections
- Diabetes
