Common Eye Conditions
Clear information to help you understand your eyes
There are many conditions that can affect our eyes and vision, and some become more common as we get older. Others can develop without causing obvious symptoms at first.
At Jacksons, we believe that understanding what is happening with your eyes is an important part of looking after them. If we find something during your enhanced eye examination, we will take the time to show you what we have found, explain what it means and discuss what should happen next.
Here you can learn more about some of the eye conditions we commonly talk to patients about.
Dry Eye and Blepharitis
Dry, gritty, watery or uncomfortable eyes can have several causes. Understanding why is the key to effective treatment.

Flashes Floaters and Retinal Detachment
Flashes and floaters are often harmless, but a sudden change can sometimes be a warning sign that needs urgent attention.

Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetes can affect the delicate blood vessels of the retina and may cause changes before you notice anything wrong with your sight.

Looking after your eyes starts with understanding them
Many eye conditions can develop gradually, sometimes before you notice any change in your vision. Regular eye examinations give us the opportunity to look carefully at your eye health, identify changes and, importantly, compare what we see over time.
At Jacksons, our enhanced eye examinations give us the time and technology to examine your eyes thoroughly, explain what we find and help you understand what it means for you.
