Eye floaters are spots in your vision. They may look to you like black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs and seem to drift about when you move your eyes and appear to dart away when you try to look at them directly. Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes liquefies and contracts. Scattered clumps of collagen fibres form within the vitreous and can cast tiny shadows on your retina. The shadows you see are called floaters.

A contact lens is a medical device that is inserted into the eyes to correct vision. They are a great alternative to glasses as they provide convenience when doing activities such as sports. It is important to use contact lenses correctly as they can cause infections with improper use. It takes time and practice to get the hang of wearing and caring for contact lenses.

The Covid situation has shown what a struggle it is to wear spectacles with a mask. Yet people who cannot manage without glasses have to go through this struggle each day. Optometrists and eye doctors worldwide face this issue with their clients. They counsel patients on glasses and contact lens care apart from performing vision tests and prescribing medication for eye conditions. They also treat other eye disorders and ensure that patients take good care of their eyes.

In a world where we are constantly working and socializing with smartphones and small–screen devices, it’s essential to have regular eye exams to check for dry eyes, eyestrain, and infections. However, it can be easy to put off visiting an optician for one reason or another, which results in our eyesight becoming impaired over a period.

With the advent of smartphones, people are becoming victims of poor vision, no matter their age. Moreover, the stress on the eyes and nerves has made it difficult to keep perfect eyesight. Therefore, it is important not to ignore any eye problems and visit an optometrist.

Of our five basic senses, our sight is probably the most indispensable. While most of us are born with good eyesight, unfortunately, due to illness or genetic disposition, some of us may require eye care from a specialist to improve or even save our vision. In these cases, the prompt services of an optometrist are essential and should not be overlooked.

As we age, so do our eyes. Aging eyes can mean decreased sharpness in our vision, an inability to distinguish between shades, problems with glare, slower adaptation to darkness and reductions in how much of our surroundings can be seen at one time. Any one of these changes increases the risk of a fall and it’s the first consideration in falls prevention.

The Opsis Eye Care team wishes you the happiest of holidays this season. May the New Year be filled with joy, health, and prosperity!

Myopia, or near-sightedness, is a vision condition in which, without a vision correction, near objects are seen clearly, but distant objects are out of focus.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) occurs when blood vessels in the retina are damaged.

Who is at risk? According to Diabetes Canada, DR affects 23% of people with type 1 diabetes and 14% of people with type 2 diabetes.

Every industry has its own language and terms. These words and phrases can be confusing to anyone who is not part of the daily operations of a specific sector, and the eyecare business is no exception.

Ortho-k, also known as orthokeratology, is a process involving gas permeable hard lenses that correct your vision while you sleep so you can enjoy clear vision during the day. These customized lenses reshape the surface of the eye so that light focuses appropriately on the retina. In the morning, you can remove the lenses and will be able to see clearly all day long. Ortho-k is a surgery-free way for some people to leave their glasses behind and not have to wear contact lenses all the time.
