PURPOSE OF EYE CARE?
As you will be aware we have 5 senses, Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch & Smell. We would argue your sense of sight is by far the most important as 80% of all we perceive comes through this sense. By protecting and ensuring our eye health to the best of our ability we can reduce the odds of blindness and vision loss while also staying on top of any developing eye diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma.
Regular eye examinations are important because:
- having poor vision corrected will improve the quality of your day-to-day life
- they will help detect certain eye conditions early e.g. cataracts, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, which could lead to sight loss
- poor vision could be a risk factor for falls. It could also be affecting your performance at work or sports without you realising.
An optometrist may also be able to spot the signs of some broader health conditions with symptoms that affect the eyes, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
You can book an eye test with us via phone, online or visiting us in store.
