The eye is undoubtedly one of the greatest organs in our body. It is (0) ACTUALLY like a camera working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The eye takes pictures of the world around us and these pictures to our brain. Then the brain works out what it is that our eyes see.
As this happens from the moment we open our eyes in the morning to when we close them at night, most of us take our vision for granted, giving little thought to the complex processes that us to see, until one we realise we may have an eye problem.
In middle age, several eye conditions are becoming more and more and by the age of 50 most people have that they cannot see as well as they once could. They may become near-sighted or far-sighted. People who are near-sighted can’t see things far away while people who are far-sighted can’t see things up. Most of these problems can be corrected with glasses but some of them may need surgery.
