TRUE OR FALSE:AN EYE EXAMINATION IS JUST ABOUT TESTING YOUR VISION

There can be nothing further from the truth. Not only do we check your standard of vision and ensure you are seeing the best you can, we perform eye health checks which can pick up both eye-related health issues and general health issues. So it is vitally important to have regular eye examinations.

TRUE OR FALSE: OLDER PEOPLE GET CATARACTS

The old saying is that if we all live long enough, we will all get cataracts. A cataract is simply a cloudiness of the lens in your eye. If the truth be known the lens in your eye probably starts to go cloudy from your early 50’s onwards. However, it does not usually impact on your vision until you at least reach your 70’s. Children can develop cataracts, but this is usually at an embryological stage of their development and they can therefore be born with cataracts. Other young people can develop cataracts due to trauma, such as a blow to the eye or a penetrating injury.

TRUE OR FALSE:YOU DON'T NEED REGULAR EYE EXAMINATIONS IF YOUR VISION IS FINE

Eye examinations are essential in detecting eye conditions such as glaucoma or retinal problems. Many of these problems have no symptoms until they are very well developed, by which time the damage is done.

TRUE OR FALSE:READING IN DIM LIGHT DAMAGES YOUR EYES

Whilst it can strain your eyes, reading in dim light does not cause any permanent damage. We should all use good quality lighting when reading or performing any detailed work. It is well documented that someone aged 70 need three times as much light to read the same text as they did when they were 20.

TRUE OR FALSE: EATING CARROTS CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMRPROVE YOUR VISION

One of the biggest old wives tales out is that eating carrots helps you see in the dark. However, a balanced diet of fruit and veg, particularly broad leafed Green vegetables will help maintain your retinal health. The old wives tale originates from the fact that carrots contain vitamin A, which is required by your retina. However, the form of vitamin A found in carrots is completely different to that required by the retina.
