Regular eye tests are vital for early diagnosis as many eye conditions may be symptom-free for some time. Check whether you have Glaucoma today!

Although we don’t know everything about what causes glaucoma, we do know that if the eye pressure in the eyes is too high it can cause the optic nerve on the back of the eye to slowly stop working, eventually leading to vision loss and blindness.

A common misconception is that people think they would be able to tell if they have glaucoma, but in fact, someone with glaucoma usually does not know it until there is severe sight loss.

Regular eye tests are vital for early diagnosis as many eye conditions may be symptom-free for some time. Check whether you have Photokeratitis today!

What is Photokeratitis?

Photokeratitis, also known as ultraviolet keratitis or UV keratitis, is an acute but very painful syndrome that occurs when your eye is subjected to invisible rays of energy called ultraviolet (UV) rays, either from the sun or from a man-made cause.

This condition disturbs the slim surface layer of the cornea and the conjunctiva, which is the clear tissue covering the white section of the eye and the interior of the eyelids.

What is Computer Vision Syndrome?

Eye strain and symptoms caused by computer use is called Computer Vision Syndrome – a term used to describe a range of eye strain and pain.

Causes of Computer Vision Syndrome

As you work at a computer, your eyes have to focus and refocus constantly. Your eye muscles need to make very precise movements to allow you to read and work smoothly. They may look up and down from the screen to other objects in the distance, and need to refocus closer to see your keyboard or other objects. All of this requires a great deal of effort from your eye muscles.

What is behavioural optometry?

Behavioural optometry is an extended area of optometry which considers visual motor and visual cognitive skills and assesses both the functioning of the eyes as well as the brain.

The holistic approach assesses how a child processes and interprets visual information and helps detect common eye problems that may accompany or contribute to learning difficulties.
