Optometrist for Adults
Focused on clarity
Have you noticed recent vision changes? Are you constantly adjusting the distance of a book or straining to read street signs? If you’re experiencing sudden or gradual changes in vision, eye discomfort or pain, headaches, double vision, frequent squinting, light sensitivity or difficulty seeing at night, these are strong indicators that it’s time for an eye test.
Early detection is crucial for effective treatment of vision problems and eye disease. As adults, our eyesight directly impacts daily tasks and overall quality of life, emphasising the importance of regular screenings for maintaining optimal eye health.
Eye health changes over time
If your eyesight isn’t what it used to be, that’s natural. With time, the lens of the eye loses flexibility, leading to difficulties focusing on nearby objects – a condition known as presbyopia. However, along with these common changes, there are some more serious conditions to look out for.
Aging increases the risk of cataracts, which can impair vision, and glaucoma, a severe, irreversible condition that may lead to total blindness. A family history of eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration or retinal detachment is an additional risk factor necessitating more regular optical checkups.
