This summer, give them the best start by booking a FREE children’s eye test at Jacksons Opticians in Glossop.

Our experienced team provides friendly, thorough eye examinations in a relaxed environment, helping to detect any vision issues early and ensuring your child has the support they need for school and everyday life.

👁 Understanding your eye health is as important as regular check-ups. Today, we're shedding light on a common condition: hyperopia.

Hyperopia, or long sightedness, is a condition where close objects may appear blurry while distant objects are often seen more clearly. It occurs when the eye is slightly shorter than normal or the cornea is too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it.

❓ Who is affected by hyperopia?
Hyperopia can affect people of all ages and is often present from birth. Many children are naturally slightly long sighted and may not notice symptoms because their eyes can compensate. As we get older, this ability gradually decreases, making symptoms more noticeable.

❓ What are the symptoms of hyperopia?
Symptoms can include blurred vision when reading or doing close work, eye strain, headaches, tired eyes, and difficulty focusing on nearby objects. Regular eye examinations are the best way to detect hyperopia and ensure you have the correct prescription.

❓ How do you treat hyperopia?
Hyperopia is commonly corrected with prescription glasses or contact lenses, helping light focus correctly onto the retina for clearer vision.

❌ MYTH: Eating lots of carrots will dramatically improve your eyesight.

✅ FACT: Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which plays an important role in maintaining healthy eyes and supporting vision. However, they won't correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism, or other existing eye conditions. The best approach to protecting your eyesight is a balanced diet and regular eye tests.

🥕 Looking after your eye health starts with regular eye tests.

For most adults, it's recommended to have an eye test every 2 years, even if your vision seems fine. Routine eye examinations can help detect vision changes and identify eye health issues early.

You may need more frequent eye tests if:

👶 Children under 16 – Annual eye tests help monitor healthy visual development.

👴 Adults aged 70+ – Annual eye tests are recommended to check for age-related eye conditions.

👓 Existing eye conditions or diabetes – Follow your optician's advice on how often you should be seen.

👀 Sudden changes in vision – Blurred vision, discomfort, flashes, floaters, or other changes should be assessed as soon as possible.
