We pride ourselves on taking the time to deliver knowledge so that you understand more about your eyes. To assist you further we have collected a few informative links to help you understand common eye conditions.
- Presbyopia; one of the natural ageing processes of the eye that causes difficulties reading and seeing things up close.
- Glaucoma; a common eye condition where irreversible degeneration of the Optic Nerve (the main nerve in the eye) results in the irreversible loss of peripheral (side) vision. This may be caused by an increase in the pressure within your eyes, but not always. Read more below:

- Macular Degeneration; the permanent damage to the macula (the part of the eye that provides your sharp, central vision) that results in the loss of your central vision.
