Eye Health

 

Vision is essential for everyday lifestyle and function, and it is not until our vision is affected until we realize how reliant we are on our eyes. The brain receives information via the optic nerve, to interpret the image processed on the retina of the eye. Any damage to the eye itself or the pathway of information to the brain can dramatically impair vision.

As people are living longer than ever before, this increases the chance of developing eye conditions that may cause disruptions to vision. Furthermore, the increasing level of computer use puts stress and strain onto our eyes, which can result in temporary visual impairments. The blood vessels that supply the eye can be the key to ensuring ocular health, yet these arteries may become damaged. If you become aware of any visual changes or associated symptoms, it is important to act to ensure healthy vision.
