Of the six senses with which we humans are endowed, we would not want to do without a single one.
Vision is an ability that helps us to cope with our lives and our daily routine.
However, numerous changes or diseases can cause our vision to diminish or even go out.
Even at a young age, vision may begin to diminish.
Your child’s normal vision matures to its approximate final form in the first 8 to 10 years of life.
Only up to this age can the development be positively influenced.
The Children’s Vision School contributes to the optimal development of your child.
A defect in the eyes means a high deficit in the reception of information.
A common disease of the eyes is glaucoma.
This disease develops very slowly.
As the disease progresses, the visual field – the area of our environment that we perceive with our eyes – becomes smaller and smaller.
This cannot be reversed. The only way to avoid this is to take precautions in time.
If you have myopia of more than 3 diopters, or if you have ever had to be treated for changes in the retina, or if previous examinations have revealed a retinal risk, you have a statistically higher risk of developing a retinal detachment.
Retinal screening can save you from retinal detachment and the associated loss of your vision through early detection.
Macular degeneration usually occurs due to age and is difficult to treat.
The macula is the site of sharpest vision on the center of the retina. As the macula degenerates, your vision becomes worse. Things are perceived “around the corner”, the image seems distorted and small writing is no longer legible.
With timely prevention, such impairments do not have to occur.
Your eyesight is one of the most precious things you have. Help us and contribute to keeping your eyes healthy for as long as possible through regular preventive care.
