Your guide to
eye conditions
Sight is such an important part of our lives – and something we want to help protect.
Like any other medical condition, it’s good for you to be familiar with symptoms of common eye conditions so you know what to look out for, what you can do and when to seek help.
Your eyes can also indicate signs of more problematic issues to do with your general health like diabetes and high blood pressure. Symptoms of these conditions are not always obvious, so regular eye tests are an essential part of maintaining your health.
Senior Optometrist Dr Nigel Best has spent 23 of his 25 years in optometry with us at Specsavers. You’ll see him quite a bit as you navigate through the eye conditions pages, providing some of his expertise on all matters around eye health.
The conditions below are all common – and can affect anyone in their lifetime.
Our stores are fully equipped to help you to manage and treat a range of eye conditions. So if you’re worried about your eye health, or if you recognise any of these symptoms, Specsavers can be your first port of call. Plus, in selected stores these services are delivered on behalf of the NHS, so there’s no cost to you.
