Bright Eyes: Seeing The World Clearly

Viewing the world without squinting has truly changed my life. I spent a decade living in a developing country and I realised I couldn’t read fine print or see things in the distance any more. I visited a local spectacle shop and the glasses they gave me helped although my world was still a little blurred. My first visit to an optometrist when I returned home was literally an eye-opener. I couldn’t believe the high-tech techniques that were being used to pinpoint the exact problem with my eyes. My new glasses, coupled with some vitamin supplements, have literally improved my vision out of sight. I now encourage everyone I know to visit their optometrist regularly and treat eye problems early. I hope my blog sends this message to the wider public.
