Vision Therapy Exercises Guide

The human eyes may not be organs on which life depends, but they are our windows to the world, without which so many activities would not be possible.

There are only so many things we can do to look after our eyes – age, ailments and other genetic disorders can all lead to deterioration in our eyesight – moreover, some people are even born short or long-sighted.

Thankfully, glasses and other optical aids are here to help those who suffer from poor vision and most people live perfectly normal lives despite their visual impairment.

Our understanding of the human body in general is phenomenal and surgical procedures can cure countless ailments that were once incurable. If you have always worn glasses, you may not have stopped to imagine what live would be like with perfect, unaided 20/20 vision. Advances in medical science means that this is now actually possible – so it may help if you understand a little about the two most common forms of visual impairment.

Short-sightedness is when you can only see things clearly close-up, meaning that things are blurred when they are far away. The medical term for this condition is myopia. The blurring of objects is caused by the shape of the eyeball, and those with myopia tend to have an eyeball that is too long or a cornea that is too steep.

Conversely, those who are long-sighted have difficulty focusing on objects nearby but can see things clearer when they are further away. The medical term for this condition is hyperopia, and it’s caused when the eyeball is too short or when the lens is not round enough.

Myopia and hyperopia can affect people to different degrees, which is why some glasses are stronger than other ones. If you’re seeking out treatment for either of these impairments, you will need to have a consultation with a specialist who will test you and advise on the best type of treatment.

LASIK eye surgery has been growing in popularity over the past couple of decades and the procedures are more affordable – and safer – than ever.

The benefits of having perfect, unaided 20/20 vision are certainly worth considering. For those who play a lot of contact sports such as football or rugby, wearing glasses isn’t really an option, which really just leaves contact lenses, which many people are uncomfortable with and if you forget to take your contact lenses out it can cause irritation to the eyes if left in overnight.

The bottom line is whether your short-sighted or long-sighted, laser eye surgery can make your lie a whole lot easier.
