LENSES

Your eyes work by taking in vast amounts of information about what’s around you, sending signals to your brain so that you can see shapes, colours, texture and movement.

Short-sightedness (Myopia)

When distant objects appear blurred, but your near vision is perfectly clear, you may have a refractive error called Myopia. Long-sightedness (Hyperopia) If you struggle to see objects that are close-up, but can see objects clearly at a far distance, then you may be Hyperopic.

Astigmatism

If you experience blurred or distorted vision and headaches then you could have astigmatism, which means that light doesn’t focus properly on the retina.

Age-related long-sightedness (Presbyopia)

Are you having trouble focusing on nearby objects? You may be suffering from Presbyopia. This is normally a problem that affects people over the age of 40.
