Sight is very different to Vision!

This difference is often overlooked, and can be the case of many frustrations in rectifying your vision and selecting the best eyewear solution.

If we only measure your sight and optics at 6 meters (by using a standard eye sight test), then how are we going to know how your vision performs at a reading distance?

That's why at G L A M O U R E Y E S we test both sight and vision... and give you the whole package.

Remember...

Sight is how you see.

Vision is how well your eyes can focus, work together as a team and interpret the information that you see.

This means you can have perfect sight, but still can't understand what you see.

With poor vision you have trouble performing with both eyes and interpreting what your eyes are actually seeing. As you can imagine, poor vision skills lead to a wide range of problems in both adults and children.

"There is Nothing Wrong With My Eyes But I am Still Having Trouble"

Every week we see patients who have had their eyes checked and were told that everything was okay. They have been told there is nothing wrong with their eyes.

But everything is not okay. The patients knew it, and we knew it... they had problems!

It is often the case that normal sight tests fail to pick up vision problems.

Can you imagine the frustrations this can cause you? Getting told that nothing is wrong while your world is in disarray due to failing vision?

Left untreated, visual disabilities can lead to further problems. Your ability to learn new information falls dramatically, driving becomes a problem as you have trouble judging distances and your distance focus deteriorates. And you may suffer sore eyes and experience a lack of concentration and increased irritability.

You need to be aware of any signs of poor vision in you or your children.

Left untreated, vision problems in children can be heartbreaking!

Children may become alienated from their friends as their ability to learn diminishes. We have seen perfectly well behaved children turn into unpopular misfits due to vision problems.

Their frustration at failing to learn simple tasks causes all sorts of behavioural problems. Their life becomes miserable, a confusing and jumbled world.

Fortunately, there is an answer that can really work. It's called...
