-- Eyelines Opticians has updated its comprehensive eye examination services for patients of all ages in Sevenoaks, Kent. The examinations are designed to test for myopia (short-sightedness) and other ocular health issues through advanced diagnostic techniques, which include optical coherence tomography scanning, digital anterior photography, and visual field screening.

Research published in PLOS ONE revealed that 29% of people born between 1965 and 1970 were short-sighted, compared to 20% of those born between 1939 and 1944, underscoring increasing rates of myopia among the UK’s population. The disorder often develops in childhood, typically resulting from axial elongation of the eye and leading to difficulties seeing objects in the distance. While there is no known cure for myopia, failure to control it can increase risk factors for serious eye conditions later in life, including high myopia, which can lead to myopic macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment.
However, various methods are effective at managing myopia and preventing the development of sight-threatening conditions. As part of its eyecare services, Eyelines Opticians offers patients access to the latest eyecare technology and treatments designed to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children and young adults. These include specialised contact lenses or spectacle lenses that are provided as part of the company’s vision therapy programs, which have the end goal of significantly reducing the patient’s final projected prescription, their dependency on corrective eyewear, and their risk of severe vision conditions.
“Thicker lenses and gradually increasing prescriptions previously felt inevitable, but with new technology, we can have a profound impact on myopia,” says a spokesperson for the clinic. “Every eye exam includes a comprehensive health check for your eyes and a visual system for the perfect prescription, resulting in optimal results for your vision.”
