Your eyes and vision explained

Your vision is your most important sense, and for many their eyes are their most important physical feature. At Medownick Laser Eye Clinic, we want to assist you to be free to see naturally, without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Glasses and contact lenses can now become a thing of the past. At Medownick, we assess and treat thousands of patients every year for common eye problems, such as astigmatism, myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), presbyopia (the need for multifocals), monovision and cataracts.

But it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Your eyes change through the years, and as you get older, your vision naturally decreases, even for people who have always had great vision.

The way we treat your eyes as you age changes too. Our rigorous assessment process, where we test the health and wellbeing of your eyes, means we are able to form a tailored recommendation on suitable treatment based on your individual needs.

Let us help you be free from glasses and contact lenses today.

Refractive errors

The three conditions that cause poor eyesight – myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism – are known as refractive errors. Learn more about refractive conditions.

Presbyopia

It’s unfortunate that, as we get older, we start to experience a gradual shift in eye focus for reading or up-close work. Discover more about presbyopia, the condition that causes you to require multifocals.

Cataracts

It’s a medical fact of life that, as you age, cataracts could develop in your eyes. Read more about cataracts, how they develop and how they are treated.

Keratoconus, or irregular corneas, is a progressive degenerative disorder that causes the eye to warp. Find out how we can treat keratoconus at Medownick.
