Your questions
They say and write very often that young children should not watch TV. Please explain why?
Human eye is ideally designed to look at objects located at a distance, since this is a passive process, similar to sound perception. To look at objects nearby the child’s eye has to actuate an additional adaptive mechanism, the focusing apparatus. When young children spend long hours in front of TV their untrained eyes are subjected to excess strain, sending the distress signal to the brain. Trying to fix the problem the brain commands to elongate the eyeball to allow image focussing on the retina without extra muscle strain. As a result the eyeball is getting elongated causing the eye to become near-sighted, adjusting to the need to constantly look at short distances. And this is a continuous process, sclera (the tough eye protective membrane) becomes less strong, keeps stretching and myopia keeps progressing.
Are there any special requirements for getting ready for eye testing?
No special requirements, please just follow few rules:
Please avoid use of alcohol the day before the tests.
Women are advised to avoid use of decorative cosmetics on the day of testing. If you wear soft contact lenses you can remove them in the clinic just before the checks, hard lenses should be removed 2 weeks before the testing day. You should carry on you an ID. If you have results of previous examinations please bring them along to show to the doctor during consultation.
