For eyes on
IF YOU AND YOUR SIGHT AREN’T
SEEING EYE TO EYE, THERE MAY BE
A VISION PROBLEM – LUCKILY,
MOST CONDITIONS ARE TREATABLE

he majority of people
will have to wear
glasses at some point
in their lives. For the
lucky few, though,
this may not be until
late middle age, but for a large
percentage of people, wearing
glasses is a daily essential – even
from childhood. One in five of 16
to 24 year olds in the UK now have
to wear spectacles, rising to a third
aged between 25 and 34.
But if your eyes aren’t straining
to see, how do you know if you need
specs? You book an eye test with an

optician’s of course. They’re free
for children, pensioners and many
others on benefits of various sorts
– but even if you do have to pay,
they can cost as little as £10 at Boots
and other high-street chains. And it
might just save you from going blind!
TESTING, TESTING
‘A full eye examination not only
determines whether you need glasses
and of what strength,’ explains
Krysten Williams of the Spectralis
imaging system favoured by many
optometrists (www.heidelberg
engineering.com), ‘but can also
detect the presence of serious eye
conditions such as glaucoma or
macular degeneration. Early treatment
is often the key to saving your sight.’
‘What’s more,’ adds a spokesperson
for the Association of Optometrists
(AOP, www.aop.org.uk), ‘eye tests can
pick up general health problems as
well, ranging from diabetes and high
blood pressure to brain tumours.’
Older people should have an eye
test every year, even if their vision
seems good. And parents should be
vigilant – if children get inexplicably
frustrated trying to read, their
eyesight needs to be checked urgently.
