It is important to have your eyesight checked by an optician regularly, at least once every two years, to screen for eye conditions such as cataract, glaucoma and Age-related macular degeneration.
If you need glasses to improve your eyesight, the optician will also work out the lens prescription you require.
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye which leads to a decrease in vision. Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Symptoms may include faded colors, blurry or double vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and trouble seeing at night.
More InformationGlaucoma is a condition that damages your eye's optic nerve. It gets worse over time. It's often linked to a buildup of pressure inside your eye. Glaucoma tends to run in families. You usually don't get it until later in life.

More InformationTo determine your face shape and which eyeglass styles will look best on you, pull your hair away from your face and look directly into a mirror. Take a close look at the overall shape and contours of your face and head. Here are the six primary face shapes and the type of eyeglass frames that look best on each shape.
You’ll be in this category if your face width and length are proportionate, and you’ve got a broad forehead and a strong jaw. To create a little more length in the face and to offset your strong features, opt for narrower styles that are still angular in shape to complement your face.
Rectangular faces generally have a deeper forehead, longer nose, with a stronger jaw line. People with this face shape should opt for glasses with a strong brow line in a deep, square shape. Steer clear of rounded, softer frames that won’t make the most of your angular features.
Round faces tend to be fairly short, with a wider forehead, full cheeks, rounded chin and softer jawline. It’s best to choose styles that will complement your softer features, so go for rounder frames rather than angular.
Diamond-shaped faces are narrow at the forehead and jawline, and have broad cheekbones that may be high and dramatic. This is the rarest face shape. To highlight the eyes and soften the cheekbones, try frames that have detailing or distinctive brow lines. Rimless eyeglasses and frames with oval or cat-eye shapes also can be good choices.
Those with heart-shaped faces will be widest at the forehead, gently narrowing down towards the chin with soft features. To offset the natural wideness at the top half of your face, opt for frames that are a little wider than your forehead or have an exaggerated brow line like a cat-eye or Clubmaster-inspired style.
People with an oval face have a softly rounded forehead and chin, with fairly balanced proportions. Lucky for you, almost all frame shapes will suit you, so you can be adventurous as you like. We’d recommend going for styles that are a little wider than the widest part of your face.
