Sometimes, the vision problem develops due to a lack of treatment due to a lack of awareness of the problem itself or the severity of the condition.
Various eye diseases develop slowly and "silently." For example, glaucoma, in which a person does not feel pain or changes in visual acuity and field of vision until the condition is irreversible.
Diabetic retinopathy develops as a result of poor treatment of diabetes and retinal degeneration. It is very important to monitor the condition of the retina, in order to respond immediately to changes and thus prevent the progression of the disease.
Optometric examination by a specialist optometrist, can be an initial test and often alerts you to a problem. You should also have a routine eye exam by an ophthalmologist once a year starting at age 40.
If you have already been exposed to vision difficulties brought on by eye disease, remember that there are many optical and electronic devices that allow even people with difficulty to continue their daily activities despite their vision problem.
Below are a few examples in a nutshell:
Applenet glasses
People with poor vision often feel the need for magnification and a wide field of view. It is often difficult to produce such a lens because the greater the magnification, the more distorted the image in the field, and therefore the field of view is smaller.
The Apelant lens system solves this problem by dividing the system into two lenses. The way the lenses are connected allows for minimal image distortion and therefore a wider field of view.
The image quality is excellent and sharp. The lens can be transparent or come with a color filter in the desired shade to increase contrast.
GRAND MAX 18%
An innovative solution manufactured in Sweden, offering a life-changing solution. Grand Max magnifies the image by 18%. And sometimes allows for driver's license renewal, when regular glasses do not allow this.
The solution is built on a system of two lenses, each of which individually magnifies by 9%. Putting them together gives a magnification of 18%.
In a research pilot conducted here in Israel, with the help of magnification, the patient can read an average of about 2 more lines on the examination board.
The final result was very satisfactory for the patients in terms of visual acuity and quality. The glasses come in several options. In a transparent state with a yellow filter and also dark as sunglasses.
Telescopic glasses for watching TV
A monocular or binocular telescope with a wide field of view that magnifies almost twice. Allows you to get closer to an object (a television, for example) and see the entire image.
In this situation, the image is stable and even head movements will not interfere.
The glasses can be customized thanks to the eyepiece lens that contains the patient's optical prescription and maximizes visual acuity.
If there is a change in the prescription, it can be easily replaced. The glasses can also be adjusted for reading.
