Conditions Detected by Optometrists

• Refracture Errors
• Myopia (Short sightedness) - when the distance vision is blurred
• Hyperopia (Long sightedness) - problems seeing near objects clearly
• Astigmatism - affects clarity of close & near vision
• Presbyopia - caused by the ageing process affecting focus at close range
• Ambylyopia (Lazy Eye) - when vision does not develop correctly in one or both eyes

Refractive errors can be corrected by wearing spectacles, contact lenses or in some cases, laser surgery.

• Glaucoma - often associated with a build-up of pressure in the eye resulting in blindness.
• Cataracts - clouding of the lens in the eye.
• Diabetes - sometimes diabetes causes the eye’s focusing mechanisms to weaken or fluctuate from day to day.
• Macular Degeneration - deterioration of the central retina.
