Eye Conditions
“Stephanie is highly experienced in treating a wide variety of eye conditions including general adult eye conditions and the broad spectrum of paediatric eye problems. Here is some further information on some of the conditions she has expertise in.”
Cataract
Cataract is when the natural lens in your eye goes cloudy as you get older. This results in blurry vision but fortunately can be corrected with a cataract operation
Squint
A squint or strabismus is a medical eye condition where both eyes don’t point in the same direction.
Double Vision
Diplopia is the medical term for double vision. This is when you see two images, these can be present all the time or intermittently and can vary depending on which direction your eyes are looking in or if you are looking at objects close up or far away.
Amblyopia
Children’s vision continues to develop until approximately age 7; occasionally certain conditions can lead to the vision not developing properly and the child having a ‘lazy eye’
Refractive Errors
All children have a glasses prescription but if this falls outside of the normal range they may need glasses to correct it and aid visual development.
