Double vision, or Diplopia, is a disruption in your vision that causes you to see multiple images layered on top of one another. The problem can be temporary or long-lasting, depending on what’s causing the problem.
Video games can be a fun way for your child to pass time in a creative and engaging way. They can help boost a child’s hand-eye coordination, and mental dexterity and increase social skills, but like anything, they should be enjoyed in moderation. Too much gaming can have negative effects on your child, especially when it comes to their eyes.
If your child is experiencing vision issues, you’re not alone. 1 in 4 school-aged children have a vision disorder. For children, 80% of learning is visual. Vision problems are often misdiagnosed as learning disabilities, which is why it’s extra important to schedule routine eye exams for your kids. Your child’s development depends on it!
We’ve all been there — 3 p.m. rolls around, you’re sitting at work, the pixels start bleeding together and melting off the screen. The culprit is eye strain, a problem that affects two-thirds of Americans and 80% of children between the ages of 10-17.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye caused by a breakdown of proteins and fibers in the eye’s lens.. It’s one of the most common vision impairments, affecting more than 20.5 million Americans over the age of 40. By 65, more than 90 percent of people in the U.S. will develop some level of cataracts.
Our vision gets worse as the fibers and muscles in our eyes begin to break down. This can be caused by aging, genetics, medical conditions, and lifestyle choices.
Macular degeneration is a chronic condition affecting the macula in the retina’s center. Symptoms including blurred, distorted vision and blindspots ranging from mild to serious in severity.
Diabetic retinopathy is a vision affliction that, while sometimes mild or asymptomatic, can lead to blindness. It is one of the most common causes of vision loss worldwide. Blood vessels in the retina become damaged and leak blood and other fluids into the eye’s interior. Risk factors increase in diabetics with less control over their blood sugar levels.
20/20 vision measures the sharpness of your vision when standing 20 feet away from an object. A lot of people think 20/20 vision is “perfect” vision, but it’s actually average vision. If somebody has 20/20 vision, they can see the same amount of detail as the average person.
In Europe, normal vision is considered 6/6, since they use meters instead of feet.
