👁 The Evolution of Vision Correction In this video, Dr. Lourens Coetzee explains the fascinating evolution of vision correction. From the invention of spectacles, to the introduction of contact lenses, and later, the advancement of laser procedures such as LASIK and PRK. He highlights how continuous innovation, including the introduction of implantable contact lenses (ICLs or IPCLs), has broadened the range of options available for suitable candidates seeking reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The story of vision correction is one of ongoing scientific progress, each development building on the last, offering patients more individualised options to support their visual needs. 👁 Learn more about your vision correction options: sandtoneyeclinic.co.za 📞 Call: 011 784 7000 💬 WhatsApp: 081 777 4446 Disclaimer: This post is for educational and awareness purposes only and not a substitute for medical advice.

See the road through the eyes of someone with astigmatism. 👁 In this video, you’ll see a simulation of normal vision and how astigmatism alters clarity and light patterns at night. Glare, halos, and blurred lights increase as the diopter value rises, making night driving more challenging. Astigmatism is a common refractive error typically corrected with spectacles or contact lenses. Did you know that both laser vision correction (like LASIK or PRK) and implantable contact lenses can correct astigmatism as well? ✨ Is this a familiar sight?

👁️ If you’re around 40 and suddenly need to hold menus or your phone a little further away to read them clearly, you’re not alone. This is presbyopia — a normal, age-related change where the lens in your eye becomes less flexible, making near tasks harder to focus on. Many people start needing reading glasses or “readers” at this stage, but there are also modern vision correction options to reduce your dependence on them. In this video, you’ll see a simulation of normal near vision and how most of us in our forties would experience near vision without readers or bifocal lenses. 👓Reading glasses general guidelines for dioptre range by age: - 40-45 need less power: +1.00 to +1.50 dioptres. - Older individuals, 45-55, require stronger lenses: +1.50 to +2.50 dioptres. - After 55 you may need +2.00 to +3.50 dioptres or sometimes even higher. ✨ Is this a familiar sight?
