- [Refractive Error](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/refractive-error/) - In refractive errors the image of the object a person is looking at is not focussed properly onto the retina (the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye). For perfectly clear vision, the image needs to be focussed, just as a camera has to be focussed properly in order to take a clear picture.
- [Colour Blindness](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/261/) - What is it? Colour blindness is not a form of blindness at all, but a deficiency in the way you see colour. With this vision problem, you have difficulty distinguishing certain colours, such as blue and yellow or red and green. Red-green colour deficiency is the most common form of colour blindness, affecting about 2%
- [Common Eye Conditions](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/common-eye-conditions/) - Pterygium A fleshy overgrowth of the skin on the surface of the eye that can become raised, red and sore. It is caused by exposure to UV light, and irritated by dry dusty windy conditions and air-conditioning. It is important to consult our optometrists for advice on management to prevent the need for surgical intervention
- [Keratoconus](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/keratoconus/) - Keratoconus is an eye condition that causes the clear front surface of the eye, known as the cornea, to thin and bulge forward. The bulging cornea affects the way light hits the retina at the back of the eye, causing distorted vision. Keratoconus usually occurs during adolescence, or shortly after, and in most cases will
- [Cataracts](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/cataracts/) - Cataracts are cloudy areas that form in the lens of the eye and result in a gradual painless reduction in sight. Poor vision results because the cloudiness interferes with light entering the eye, with the opacities in the lens scattering the light, in the same way that a dirty window scatters light. The time taken
- [Diabetes and the Eye](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/diabetes-and-the-eye/) - About seven per cent of the Australian population over 25 years of age have diabetes, increasing to about 24 per cent of people over 75 years of age. Of these, more than 70 per cent will develop some changes in their eyes within 15 years of diagnosis. Optometrists play a fundamental role in diagnosing these
- [Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/age-related-macular-degeneration-amd/) - Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) damages the part of the retina responsible for central vision and makes it difficult to see small details of objects. Side vision is not affected. If both eyes are affected, reading and other tasks requiring fine vision may become very difficult. AMD is the result of ageing processes in the eye.
- [Glaucoma](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/glaucoma/) - Glaucoma is the name given to a group of eye diseases in which the optic nerve at the back of the eye is slowly destroyed. It is the result of a blockage of outflow for the fluid in the back of the eye. In most people this damage is due to an increased pressure inside the eye
- [Eye Examinations](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/eye-examinations/) - Eye examinations at Beckenham Optometrist are comprehensive and customized to the individual. Our optometrists ask about how you use your eyes in your work and at home to determine the best optical solutions for your needs. An eye examination includes a range of tests to assess the health of your eyes, screening for eye diseases
- [Low Vision](https://www.beckenhamoptometrist.com.au/resource/low-vision/) - Low vision can significantly impact on quality of life generally affecting the elderly in our population. At Beckenham Optometrist we provide advice to enable independence and support in the forms of low vision aids, magnification and lighting advice and mobility aids. We have close links to Vision Australia and Guide Dogs NSW helping in their
