Don't be shortsighted about the risks of myopia

Myopia, also known as short-sightedness, is an extremely common vision condition where you cannot see objects that are farther away clearly, but can see things that are up close. Things in the distance will look blurry, with lines becoming indistinct. Activities like driving, watching movies and television, and reading become difficult and strenuous. Myopia can be a mild hindrance at best, especially for those at work or in school, but there are also serious complications that can arise if it is left unaddressed and destabilising.

Is minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) right for you?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not managed effectively. Traditional glaucoma treatments, such as medication or more invasive surgery, have been the primary options for patients. However, advancements in technology have introduced minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) as an alternative treatment option that offers less recovery time and fewer risks. If you are considering your options for glaucoma management, you may be wondering whether MIGS could be a suitable choice for you.

To see or not to see: the pros and cons of lens replacement surgery

Not being able to see the world properly can feel like missing out on a lot – and there’s only so much one can tolerate about scratched-up spectacles, painful contacts, and constantly blurry vision. Many vision impairments can be attributed to issues with the lens of the eye. Whilst these issues are not dangerous to health, they can impact how people go about their daily lives. Activities that were once simple and ubiquitous like reading, writing, watching movies, going on walks in the evening, and driving become difficult and even hazardous. Vision can be completely restored with lens replacement surgery, but there are caveats to consider.
