Computer Related Eyestrain
Most of us spend time in front of a computer, regardless of what profession we’re in, even more so now that a lot of people are working remotely. Prolonged computer use can harm your eyes and even lead to poor vision. The most common result of prolonged computer use is Myopia (nearsightedness). Computer usage can […]
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.
Children’s Vision
A lot of schools offer vision screening for grade 1s, but enough don’t. Vision is often a neglected part of children’s health, unless the problems are obvious.

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 […]
Pseudo Myopia
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition where your distance vision is blurry and your near vision is clear. Myopes generally wear spectacles or contact lenses to see clearly. When we spend a lot of time looking near, whether we’re reading or working on the computer, our eyes stay focussed (accommodated) on the short distance for […]
Causes and Symptoms of Hyperopia
Causes of Hyperopia Farsightedness occurs when light entering the eye is not focused onto the retina (the back of the eye). If the eye is too short, or the front of the eye (the cornea) is too flat, the light will not focus where it should, meaning the eyes need to compensate (focus harder) in […]
