The use of eye drops to enlarge the pupil permits a much better view inside the eye.
Ideally, we would recommend this procedure in all eye examinations but as it causes mild blurring of vision and light sensitivity for 1-2 hours, it can be a little inconvenient.
We will normally advise pupil dilation when viewing inside the eye is difficult, for example if the pupil is unusually small, or if there are cataracts, but also if we suspect there is something wrong inside the eye.
If you would like this as part of your routine eye examination, tell the optometrist, and remember the blurring might prevent you from driving for a couple of hours afterwards, and bring sunglasses!

We know that today, almost three quarters of the people living in the UK wear either spectacles or contact lenses or at some time have had laser corrective surgery.
You can help to keep your eyes in good working order by not smoking and eating a good diet with plenty of green, leafy vegetables.
Sometimes your eyes could be affected by illnesses or conditions you were born with or which can change as you grow older.
Problems with your eyesight can develop at any time in your life, but you're more likely to have a problem if you are over 40.

Glaucoma is a complex group of eye problems but it can broadly be divided into chronic glaucoma (or open angle glaucoma), and acute glaucoma (also known as closed angle glaucoma).
Chronic open angle glaucoma is the commonest form.
Acute glaucoma is much less common but still affects about 1 in 1000 people.
In a normal eye, aqueous fluid circulates through the pupil into the chamber behind the cornea, and drains from this chamber out of the eye through a meshwork of fine vessels located at the outer edge of the iris (the coloured part of the eye).

AMD is a common eye problem which usually affects people in middle-old age and results in a deterioration of central vision.
The retina is the light sensitive inner lining of the eye.
It receives the image of things we see, transfers this into electrical impulses, and sends these to the brain along the optic nerve.
The centre of the retina is called the macula and it is essential to seeing fine detail and colour.
If the macula degenerates then seeing to read, to recognise faces, and anything which requires fine discrimination of detail will become difficult.

Amblyopia is sometimes known as 'lazy eye' and to understand what is meant by this it is helpful to consider how a normal eye develops through infancy.
The eyesight in a new-born baby is quite poor.
Think of this like a camera which has a poor quality film in it - no matter how well the camera is focused the picture quality will be poor.
During the first year of life our eyesight improves, rather like a camera which now has a high quality film in it.
The retina is the 'film' of the eye, so over the first twelve months of life the 'quality' of the retina gradually improves and the stimulus to this development is a well focused image.
