Causes of Myopia

Certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of developing near-sightedness. If one of your parents is short-sighted, your risk of developing the condition is increased. The risk is higher if both parents are short-sighted. Prolonged reading or other close-up activities. Screen time — using computers or smart devices for long periods increases the risk of developing short-sightedness. Lack of time spent outdoors.

Myopia Action Month

Myopia Action Month raises awareness about myopia (short-sightedness) and its impact on eye health. Myopia is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. This month, our focus is on encouraging regular eye check-ups and promoting strategies to slow down the progression of myopia. There is an increasing prevalence of myopia worldwide, particularly among young people. Increased screen time, reduced outdoor activities, and genetic predisposition contribute to this rise.

Allergies

Allergies are a common concern for many children. If your little one has itchy, red, or watery eyes, it could be a sign of allergies. Environmental factors like pollen or mold are often the culprits. Unfortunately, children tend to rub their eyes when they feel discomfort, which can make the symptoms even worse. If you're unsure what's behind your child’s eye discomfort, visit Specsavers Opticians Zimbabwe, where our optometrists are ready to help.

Growing Eyes Need Regular Check-Ups!

Your kids are growing and changing every year, including their vision. Even if they seem to have perfect 20/20 eyesight, their vision can change gradually over time. Undetected and untreated vision problems can lead to conditions like lazy eye or crossed eyes, which are often harder to address later. Ensure your child’s eye health is in good condition by visiting any of our branches for a comprehensive eye exam.

Keep your eyes moist with eye drops.

During this frosty month people may notice that their skin tends to dry up, but did you know that the same thing can happen to your eyes? Essentially dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, and because the cold winter air holds less humidity, it can impact our ability to produce a sufficient amount of tears. If you’re experiencing excessively watery eyes, blurry vision and/or the desire to close your eyes, you may be experiencing dry eye. Try using a humidifier this time of year and ensure that the vents in your vehicle aren't blowing directly at you. (Source www.opto.ca) #specsaverszim#SpecsaversZW#SpecsaversZimbabwe#wintereyetips

What is a cataract? Continuation

Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually affect vision. At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye’s lens. You may not notice any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens. More clouding changes the light passing through the lens. This may lead to symptoms you notice more. Fortunately, cataract surgery is generally a safe, effective procedure. (Source www.mayoclinic.org)
