Myopia makes distant objects look blurry while close-up vision stays clear. It happens when the eye is slightly too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina. It’s extremely common and easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

Hyperopia means you may struggle with close-up tasks like reading, while distant vision is clearer. This occurs when the eye is a bit shorter than normal, making light focus behind the retina. Glasses or contact lenses can correct this quickly and comfortably.

Astigmatism is caused by an uneven curve at the front of the eye, making vision appear stretched or blurry at all distances. It’s very common and can be corrected with specially designed lenses.

Presbyopia is a natural part of aging, usually appearing around age 40. The lens becomes less flexible, making it harder to focus on close objects. Reading glasses, varifocals, bifocals, or contact lenses can help.

Glaucoma is caused by pressure inside the eye damaging the optic nerve. It often develops without early symptoms, which makes regular eye exams essential. Treatments—like drops or surgery—can prevent vision loss.

Cataracts develop when the eye’s lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred or dim vision. They’re very common with age. Cataract surgery is a safe, routine treatment that restores clear vision by replacing the cloudy lens.

AMD affects the central part of your vision, making it harder to see fine details or recognise faces. There are two types—dry and wet—and although not always curable, early diagnosis and treatment can protect vision.

Dry eyes happen when your tears aren’t keeping the eye properly lubricated. You may feel burning, stinging, or excessive watering. Causes include screen use, aging, and environment. Eye drops and simple daily care usually help.

Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelids that can cause itching, redness, and a gritty feeling in the eyes. It’s often long-term but manageable with warm compresses, good eyelid cleaning, and sometimes medication.
