Is Lasik recommended after 50?
As the years roll on, Laser Eye Surgery may start to look like an increasingly attractive option. Less time looking for misplaced glasses, no more fumbling around with contact lenses and, not to mention, clearer vision. What could be stopping you from going forward! Well, there is one small thing. Although there is no upper age limit, Laser Eye Surgery has long been powerless against presbyopia.

How Long Will The Effects Of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision Last? [Video]
When it’s time to get reading glasses, you know that’s it. At first, you only need them for reading the back of packaging, your phone, and occasionally other small text. Not long after, though, you’re wearing them for most tasks, and seemingly spending any time you’re not wearing them looking for them. And then not long after that, you can’t go anywhere without them, and they’ve become a permanent feature on your face. That’s the thing about loosing your reading vision as… Read more

Laser Eye Surgery vs Clear Lens Exchange (IOLs)
Working out whether to have Laser Eye Surgery or Clear Lens Exchange intra-ocular lens (IOL) procedure can be a tricky process. The two procedures both have their unique advantages, and they work in distinctly different ways. Whereas Clear Lens Exchange works by replacing the eye’s natural lens and is a common solution to cataracts, Laser Eye Surgery adjusts the eye’s natural lens and is considered a safer and more effective way to treat refractive errors like shortsightedness and longsightedness. That being said,… Read more

Guide to Contact Lens vs Glasses vs Laser Eye Surgery
You would think it’s pretty easy to work out which is better: contact lenses, glasses, or Laser Eye Surgery. But depending on who you ask, what they’ve experienced and read, what stage of life they are in, and who they work for, you may get a differing set of facts and opinions. This is especially the case when you turn to the internet for answers. Forums are generally unreliable and anecdotal, news websites are typically inflated and biased, and blog articles are… Read more

Nothing ages you more than reading glasses
If you’ve ever had any anti-ageing treatments or tried something that claims to make you look younger, then you’re probably a little sceptical about anything new that hits the market and claims to be the answer to eternal youth. Pretty much everything in this category comes at some cost. Whether it be it only lasts a few weeks or months, it has several risks or unfavourable side-effects, it costs the Earth to keep using, or it demands severe restraint or hours of… Read more

Can I Have Laser Eye Surgery If I Have Macular Degeneration? [video]

Here’s to the readers, the adventurers, the young-at-hearters
If Dylan Thomas’s 1947 poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night”, could be summed up in one line, it would be: “Old age should burn and rave at close of day”. But it can’t be. Although short and concise as it is, Thomas crafted every single word to try and convey the full power of his feelings on a very personal matter, his father’s imminent death, and get across exactly why he shouldn’t give up on life and instead “Rage, rage… Read more
