Your childs vision
Our eyes play an important role in kids development. It allows us to take in the world around us.
Routine eye exams can keep your eyes healthy and find any vision problems.
What is Myopia and why does it affect so many children?
Myopia affects one in three people but it is indeed on the rise.
Encourage your child to play outside as much as possible and decrease screen time.
Myopia is being short sighted or near sighted. When near objects appear clear and objects further away look blurry.
When light falls in front of the retina.
Myopia continues to place an individual at an increased risk of sight-threatening diseases including glaucoma, cataract and detachments.
Are you reading comfortably?
Do words appear to move, wobble or flicker when you read for any length of time? Do your eyes get tired or do you get headaches when reading? You might be one of the 20% of the population who suffers from a condition known as Visual Stress.
Visual Stress is thought to be caused by hyperactivity of certain groups of cells in the brain. The good news is that the symptoms can often be reduced by using a coloured overlay, coloured lenses or by changing the background colour of the screen or tablet that you are looking at.
The ReadEZ system was developed at City University London by a team led by optometrist and visual scientist, Professor David Thomson. The system is used by over 400 Opticians and in many hospitals and schools and our coloured overlays, coloured lenses and screen tinting software are now used by 1000s of people around the world.
