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 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.

Can I use my glasses prescription to buy contact lenses?

Contact lenses are worn on the lens of each eye, whereas glasses are worn around 12 mm in front of your eyes, so their corrective powers differ. Our specialists consider tear fluid levels, eye health, prescription, and lifestyle when determining the best contact lenses for you. To purchase contact lenses online or in-store, you must have a valid contact lens prescription.

How frequently should I have my eyes checked? Every two years, on average. However, your optometrist will advise you if more frequent exams are appropriate for your age and clinical findings.

What are the most common causes and symptoms of dry eyes?

Aging is a common cause of decreased tear production. Sjogren's syndrome, allergic eye disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, graft vs. host disease, sarcoidosis, thyroid disorders, or vitamin A deficiency are all medical conditions that should be avoided. Dry eye symptoms include a dry, gritty, or burning sensation in the eyes, as well as redness, watery or teary eyes, tching, and light sensitivity.

what is a good eyesight score?

The standard, or how a "normal" person sees, is 20/20 vision. This means that if you stand 20 feet away from an eye chart, you will see what a normal person sees. A person with 20/20 vision can see a row of 9mm letters from 20 feet away.

What is the cause of my vision loss?

Vision changes, such as difficulty focusing on close objects, are a normal part of the ageing process. The leading causes of vision loss in people over the age of 40. Changes in the macula cause this. The macula is the part of the eye that allows you to see clearly and sharply.

Why do I need glasses even though I wear contact lenses?

Whatever form of vision correction you prefer, your eyes will need a rest from time to time. And contact lens wearers still require glasses, even if only as backup eyewear, in case your eyes become irritated from wearing contact lenses too frequently or if you don't have time to clean them before inserting them.

Who can wear contact lenses?

Contact lenses can be worn safely and comfortably by almost anyone. We recommend consulting with an eye care professional to determine which type of contact lens is best suited to your eye health needs, prescription, and lifestyle.

We may also advise wearing glasses for certain activities and contact lenses for others.

Is it possible to get an eye infection if I wear contact lenses?

Only if you do not properly care for your contact lenses. This is why you must make certain that the contact lens is completely sterile before inserting it into your eye.

There is very little risk of infection if you use your contact lens solutions correctly and follow the advice of your Contact Lens Optician. The significance of contact lens hygiene cannot be overstated.

Why is an eye test so important?

Your eyes are irreplaceable. You may or may not experience any symptoms or pain. The eye test can detect very early signs of any problems; the sooner they are treated, the better.

Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, some brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis can all be detected by an eye exam that you aren't aware of. The eye test will determine whether or not your vision can be improved. 

A good vision improves one's quality of life. Driving and certain occupations require that your vision meet specific legal standards.

Is it true that wearing glasses makes you dependent on them?

There is no evidence that wearing spectacles increases your reliance on them. Most people require more spectacles as they age, especially if they are nearsighted, and wearing spectacles does not increase (or decrease) this dependence.

They are then surprised to discover that their vision is worse without their spectacles.

What Is Long-Sightedness?

Hypermetropia is also known as long-sightedness.

A person is considered hyperopic if they have difficulty seeing things up close but prefer to focus on distant objects. Again, spectacles or contact lenses are commonly used to correct vision.
