Just like every other systems in our body, our eyes undergo changes as we grow. Our eyes start to develop from the date we were born, from being able to see only black, white and other high contrast colours, to have full colour perception. From school year, many eye problems such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism start to emerge.

As we grow older when we reach 40 years of old, we start to experience difficult in reading the small print, a condition called presbyopia. The chance of various eye diseases is getting higher as we age, for example Cataracts and Glaucoma. Macular degeneration is primarily age related, affecting one in seven people over the age of 50 in Australia.

We will require eye correction sooner or later during our life time. Even if we have generally healthy eyes, we may require glasses to help us with close-up tasks when we reach 40 years of age. People may wonder "how to choose glasses frames", "what are the available lens options?", "which type of lenses should I use?".

This section is dedicated to provide you knowledge about the health of our eyes and vision correction with glasses, contact lenses or laser surgery.

While there is no cure for many eye diseases, early detection and treatment can slow down their progression and thus preserve eyesight. The key is to visit your eye care professional regularly.
