5 Common age-related eye problems
Crystal clear vision is something we typically associate with youth and expect to fade away as the years go by. And whereas it is true that the eyes go through the natural ageing process and do degrade, like any other part of the body, this doesn’t mean you can’t retain a clear and youthful view of the world. Retaining your vision as you age isn’t something that is completely out of your control. There are certain conditions you may be more likely… Read more
Age-related macular degeneration
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is, in fact, the most common cause of vision loss for people age 50 and older.

For some people, however, AMD progresses at a much faster rate and can quickly lead to central vision loss in one or both eyes. This is one reason why it’s important to be aware of AMD and to know how to spot its warning signs. Associated… Read more

Caring for ageing eyes
There’s some things you can’t control as you age. A declining ability to climb stairs. The fact you can’t party as hard as when you were 20. Skin that shows you’ve been on this Earth for more years than most. Such things, at least for most folks, are just a natural part of getting older that simply have to be accepted. Just like other parts of the body, your eyes are susceptible to the ageing process. Issues like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular… Read more

Is Lasik recommended after 50?
As the years roll on, Laser Eye Surgery may start to look like an increasingly attractive option.

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

Can Laser Eye Surgery Treat the Loss Of Reading Vision? [Video]
Although when it happens to you it can feel like an incredibly personal thing, the loss of reading vision that is evident around the age of 45 is an almost universal condition.

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.

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.
