Early diagnoses for example: refractive error, colour blindness, squint, lazy eye, ocular pathology &#8230; with remedial or corrective intervention these could be life changing. It is for these reasons that children should have their eyes and vision tested early and regularly. During infancy, childhood to teenage years our bodies grow and change at a rapid rate with the prevalence of near focus demands ever increasing especially in our current modern age of digital use, Myopia or short sightedness is increasing rapidly.

It is a much better idea to have your eyes checked by an optometrist who is trained to measure exactly at which stage of\u00a0 Presbyopia you are in as this is a developing eye condition that changes with ageing and may be influenced by your near visual demands\/habits and environment. Lens laboratories are always developing innovative types of lenses based on complicated mathematical algorithms to match the comfort and types of demands that we unconsciously make of our eyes even though our eyes are nearing their sell-by-date either due to ageing or poor habits of stressing our vision.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-276b0b9f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"276b0b9f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e85d048\" data-id=\"5e85d048\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-643652f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"643652f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Senior<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-121906bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"121906bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fall-3087667_1920-1024x791.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2267\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fall-3087667_1920-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fall-3087667_1920-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fall-3087667_1920-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fall-3087667_1920-1536x1186.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/fall-3087667_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dec7343\" data-id=\"dec7343\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e19a130 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e19a130\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With longer life expectancy, many of us will develop cataracts, glaucoma or macular degeneration in our later years.
