Fed up of the constant on/off of reading glasses? Only needing visual aid for some distances and not others presents a unique problem for wearers of reading glasses: where to put the damn things when you’re not wearing them.

Eye health: Staying hydrated
Eye health: Staying hydrated Water is all around us: vast oceans cover nearly three-quarters of the world’s surface. It circulates in the air as vapour, flows in rivers, gathers as lakes, and freezes in icecaps and glaciers.

What does a pair of £5 reading glasses say about you?

When does presbyopia start?
When does presbyopia start? Literally meaning “old eye”, presbyopia is the medical term we use for the natural effects of ageing on the eye.

Add to that stress, eyestrain, and headaches, and you’ve got a typical case of presbyopia. But…
How to look good in your glasses?
How to look good in your glasses? You’ve tried to embrace them as the fashion accessory — you really have. But unlike Jennifer Aniston or Anne Hathaway, you weren’t blessed with perfectly symmetrical features. Your face doesn’t fit nicely into one of the common categories — “Square, diamond, heart, or base down triangle? More like oblong-triangle with a dash of square”— and the only style that does looks good on you went out of fashion twenty years ago. But they’re easier and safer…

But while for some, this…
Laser Eye Surgery vs contact lenses: Read the facts

Granted, you don’t go into it expecting to enjoy yourself. But let’s face it, it could be a whole lot easier and less stressful than it’s made to be. Heck, it could even be fun! Okay, maybe that’s pushing it a bit too far… But the point is, if it wasn’t for…
What does freedom from glasses really mean?
What does freedom from glasses really mean? Humans are terrible when it comes to making positive changes in their lives. But contrary to what most people think, there’s a lot more to it than simply pizza and Netflix being easier than embracing the cold and hitting the gym; it comes down to an inbuilt physiological response in the making for thousands of years. If we look back to see how our ancestors lived, it’s much easier to understand. Throughout human history, most…
Laser eye treatments
Laser eye treatments Have you ever read a description of a new product, treatment, or therapy, and immediately switched off due to an excess of overcomplicated jargon? I mean, what’s the point in using complex and technical language if they know it will fly straight over the heads of the vast majority of people? It’s a good question — and one that reveals a lot about the company or person behind the particular product or service they are selling. You’ll find…
