Why is it recommended to have an eye exam every two years?

1. Many eye problems have no symptoms. Eye exams will help to identify glaucoma, which is an inherited disease. 

2. An eye health check could help to identify signs of serious medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and brain tumours.

3. Periodic and routine eye exams ensure that you have the best vision possible, eliminate eye strain, and reduce headaches.

The medical terms for nearsightedness and farsightedness

1. Myopia is the medical term for nearsightedness, which can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or, in some cases, refractive surgery (LASIK or Corneal Ring Implants). 2. Farsightedness is a medical term for hyperopia, which can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or, in some cases, refractive surgery. 3. Astigmatism and presbyopia are two related conditions that can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

How do I remove reflections from my glasses?

If you're bothered by annoying reflections on your lenses, have your optician replace them with anti-reflective lenses (AR coating). Though it is an additional cost, the AR coating will help you see more clearly, allow others to see your eyes more clearly, and eliminate annoying glare spots on your lenses.

BIFOCALS

Bifocal lenses are divided into two parts to accommodate a combination of any two different prescriptions into one lens. One area of the lens will have one prescription (usually distance) and a segment in the lower half will have the other (usually near vision).

What exactly does astigmatism mean?

Astigmatism means that the surface of your eye does not have the same curvature across all angles. It is often compared to the shape of a rugby ball, with one side flatter and the other steeper. This causes light to focus in two places as it enters your eye, resulting in distorted vision. This may cause your eyes to feel tired or you might get headaches.

What exactly does it mean to be Shortsighted ? Being shortsighted means you have difficulty seeing things clearly when they are far away. This is due to the fact that the light from what you're looking at is focused in front of the retina rather than on it. It often runs in families, so if your mother or father, brother or sister are shortsighted, you may be as well.

What exactly are varifocal lenses?

Varifocal lenses (also known as progressive lenses) have multiple points of focus. This means that the focus shifts as you move your gaze through the lens. This type of lens is typically required when you lose your ability to see far and near with single vision lenses. It is frequently used to treat presbyopia.

How can I avoid bothersome reflections on my glasses?

Anti-reflective coating, also known as AR coating, improves your ability to see through your glasses, allows others to see your eyes more clearly, and eliminates the annoying white glare spots in photos taken with a flash.

HOW CAN I PREVENT EYE INJURY? Eye injuries are extremely common, ranging from minor scratches to chemical burns and vision loss. Even if you believe your eye injury is minor, you should see an eye doctor to have it evaluated. Eye injuries can be extremely serious, so it's best to be safe than sorry. See an eye doctor right away if you notice anything unusual about your eyes, such as pain, difficulty seeing, a cut/torn eyelid, blood layered in front of your iris, or unusual pupil sizes.

Why did my eyelid start to twitch?

Myokymia, or twitching of the eyelids, can be caused by eye irritation, strain, lack of sleep, dry eyes, or too much caffeine. Severe or long-lasting eyelid spasms could be a sign of something else. Myokymia, or eyelid twitch, is a repetitive, involuntary spasm of the eyelid muscles.
