👓 Understanding Vision: Your eye shape plays a key role in how you see: 🔹 Nearsightedness (Myopia): The eye is longer, causing distant objects to appear blurry. 🔹 Normal Vision: Light focuses perfectly on the retina for clear sight. 🔹 Farsightedness (Hyperopia): The eye is shorter, making near objects blurry. Regular eye exams can help detect and correct these refractive errors. Protect your vision! ✨ #EyeCare #Nearsightedness #Farsightedness #HealthyVision

🔎 Understanding Refractive Errors 🔍 Did you know that refractive errors are one of the most common vision problems? Here’s a quick guide: 1️⃣ Normal Vision: Light focuses perfectly on the retina, giving clear vision. 2️⃣ Nearsightedness (Myopia): Light focuses in front of the retina, making distant objects appear blurry. 3️⃣ Farsightedness (Hyperopia): Light focuses behind the retina, making close objects harder to see. Regular eye checkups can help detect and correct these issues early. Don’t take your vision for granted—schedule an appointment today! 👁️✨ #EyeCare #HealthyVision #RefractiveErrors #Myopia #Hyperopia #EyeHealthMatters

Monovision is a technique where one eye (typically the dominant eye) is corrected for clear distance vision, while the other eye is adjusted for comfortable near vision. This approach enables a person to see nearby objects clearly with one eye and distant objects clearly with the other eye. The brain’s visual processing tends to filter out the image from the eye that isn’t sharply focused, so over time, people with monovision don’t notice the less focused eye. Many individuals with monovision can see adequately at both near and far distances, allowing them to perform activities at any age without additional corrective lenses. Monovision can be achieved using contact lenses or vision correction procedures by adjusting the non-dominant eye for near vision and the dominant eye for distance vision. If you're considering a vision correction procedure, your doctor can fit you with monovision contact lenses as a trial before making a permanent adjustment. Most people’s brains adapt to monovision within a few weeks or months. In our experience, the majority of individuals over the age of 40 to 45 who try monovision and allow time for adaptation become fully accustomed to it. #monovision #Nearvision #Distancevision #eye #Distancenear #Dominant #Nondominant #eyemakeup #Optometrist #PGOPTPM #EYEHEALTH follow me For more RIYAZUL Syed

🌍 World Sight Day: Seeing Beyond Eyesight 👁️ On World Sight Day, we’re reminded that over 2.2 billion people globally experience vision impairment, with 1 billion cases preventable. Leading causes like refractive errors and cataracts can be treated, yet millions lack access to care, especially in low-income regions. The financial impact? A staggering $411 billion in global productivity losses each year. While most vision impairment affects those over 50, it can happen at any age. Today, we’re called to take action—to increase access to eye care and prevent avoidable blindness. But beyond the physical, vision is about understanding, purpose, and clarity. Let’s not only restore sight but also help others see beyond the surface, embracing deeper meaning in life. 🌟 Author: Dr. Wilna Rautenbach #WorldSightDay #VisionHealth #EyeCareForAll #BlindnessPrevention #GratitudeForSight #Ophthalmology #VisionBeyondEyesight

The eyes and how they work... The main function of the eyes is enabling people to see. All the parts of the eye work together to allow vision. They take in light from the environment and send visual information for the brain to process.

It looks hard right? We're born with two eyes for a reason! When one of our eyes is "turning off" because of a lazy eye, eye turn, unequal prescription in each eye, or some other reason, our brain is not able to process information correctly and to put it simply - life gets a lot harder. The result is called Suppression of Binocular Vision which limits our ability to see in 3D and have accurate depth perception. Not to mention the increased load that's placed on both that hard working eye that's taking over and our brain as it tries to select which eye to listen to. I mean, nobody likes being inundated with conflicting instructions do they?! Symptoms of Binocular Suppression include; 👉 Difficulty navigating through space 👉 Blurred vision or double vision 👉 Trouble seeing at night or in dim light 👉 Clumsiness or bumping into things When we rewire the neuronal software for our visual system, we're able to turn on "both eyes" and make life a whole lot easier for our brain as it can listen to our eyes as one singular unit. Feel the ease as you make vision your guide, rather than an interference in your everyday life. #visiontherapy #visiontraining #myvisionfirst #amblyopia #lazyeye #eyeturn #strabismus #developmentdisabilities #braintraining #tiredeyes #fatigue #neuroplasticity

Here, I had the privilege of working with a special case—trialing contact lenses for one of my parents. These images showcase the process, including the use of scleral contact lenses, which can be life-changing for managing complex visual needs. Every eye tells a story, and these moments remind me why I’m passionate about what I do. The patient is an 8-year-old Boy Visual Acuity (VA) Without Contact Lenses: Right Eye (R): Vision is 6/6 (normal) with near vision at N5. Left Eye (L): Vision is 6/24 (reduced), improving to 6/12+ with correction. Near vision improves to N5 with a +2.50 addition. Refraction Without Contact Lenses: Right Eye (R): No refractive error (Plano). Left Eye (L): Refractive error of -0.75 sphere and -4.00 cylinder at 115° (indicating significant astigmatism). Contact Lens Trial: Scleral Contact Lens: The left eye was fitted with a scleral contact lens to manage the high astigmatism and improve vision. Visual Acuity With Contact Lenses: Left Eye (L): Improved vision to 6/12+ with +2.50 add, near vision to N5. #Optometry #ContactLenses #EyeCare #VisionHealth

#FactFriday: Peripheral vision is extremely low-resolution and almost monochrome because there are few colour receptors in the peripheral retina. We don't notice this because as soon as you wonder about the blurry periphery, your eye moves to fill in the detail before you discover it was missing.

An artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is primarily required for people with cataracts, a condition where the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, obscuring vision. They can also be also used to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and presbyopia (when eyes gradually lose the ability to see things clearly up close, as a normal part of aging). #vision #optometry 360care.com LEARN MORE: https://lnkd.in/gvcEEMnC

👁️ Understanding the Eye and Its Functions 🔍 The human eye is a remarkable sense organ that allows us to perceive the world around us through light and color. Here's a brief overview of its key components and functions: Cornea: This transparent layer refracts (bends) light as it enters the eye, playing a crucial role in vision. Iris: The colored part of the eye, it controls how much light enters through the pupil. Lens: A flexible structure that changes shape to focus light onto the retina for clear vision. Pupil: The opening that lets light into the eye, adjusting size based on light conditions. Retina: Contains light receptor cells (rods and cones) that detect light intensity and color, allowing for vision. Fovea: The area on the retina with the highest concentration of cone cells, crucial for sharp central vision. Blind Spot: The region where the optic nerve exits the eye; no light-sensitive cells are present here. Additionally, the optic nerve transmits visual information to the brain, enabling us to interpret what we see. #EyeHealth #VisionScience #HumanAnatomy #MedicalEducation
