Top Tips To Combat Eye Strain
Working at an office desk can put constant strain on your eyes without you realising, making it imperative that you have regular eye tests. Constant exposure to display screen equipment and air conditioning can cause problems for your vision. It is important that you check your eye health.
Flashes & Floaters
These can be semi-transparent or dark and appear to float in front of your vision. If you have had these for years, your eye and your brain learn to ignore them. Sometimes the number of floaters increases as you get older. Occasionally an increase in floaters can be a sign of problems inside the eye.
Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, caused either by allergy or infection and can be treated by our optometrist. Conjunctivitis usually causes a moderately red eye with some discharge and mild discomfort to the patient.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is one of the commonest causes of blindness and partial sight in the UK. There are three types of Glaucoma; Acute (closed angle) Chronic (open angle) and Congenital Glaucoma. The optometrist at My Optician can advise you correctly of any problems and treatment.
Keratitis
Keratitis is inflammation of the cornea, caused by bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Classically the cornea becomes swollen and infiltrates occur, accompanied by a red eye with varying degrees of discomfort and pain.
ARMD
Age Related Macular Degeneration is the commonest cause of blindness in the UK. In this condition the macula (central region of the retina) degenerates irreversibly with age leading to distortions and ultimately of central vision.
