Presbyopia
Presbyopia is one of the conditions we develop as we get older. It is characterised by difficulty reading small print close by. It is caused by weakening of the eye’s focussing system. It’s a natural progression, that usually starts in your early 40s. If you find that you struggle to read small print or thread […]
Age Related Vision Changes
The eyes change a lot with age. Some of the changes are easier to manage than others. Sight threatening conditions such as Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration and retinopathies caused by hypertension and diabetes, are very common in older individuals. Regular eyes exams after the age of 40 are very important, even without vision problems.
Fluctuating Vision
Vision that fluctuates may be due to a variety of conditions. One of the first things I think of when I get a complaint of fluctuating vision is systemic conditions, more especially Diabetes.

Issues with eye movements can result in difficulty reading, problems with accommodation (focusing) will manifest as […]
Diabetes Care
Diabetes remains one of the most common chronic conditions I come across in the office. A lot of people are struggling with it because to properly control the condition, a lot of lifestyle changes need to occur. It is not enough to simply take the medication prescribed, diet needs to change too. Reducing your “white” […]
“I can see, so my eyes are fine, right?”
We often use our vision to judge the health of our eyes, incorrectly assuming everything is okay just because we can see. A lot of South Africans believe what happens at the licensing department is an eye test, and therefore assume all is well when they “pass”. What they do there is just a […]
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a condition where the cornea (transparent layer covering the coloured part of the eye) is oval instead of perfectly round. This irregular curve means that light rays entering your eye focus in two different places on the light-sensitive tissue (retina) at the back of your eye. The brain has difficulties interpreting this hence […]
