Macular Foveal Check
An assessment of the central retina for sharp detail vision. It helps diagnose early macular problems.
Meibomian Glands
Oil-producing glands in the eyelids that help prevent dry eyes.
Macular Degeneration
An age-related condition affecting the macula and central vision.
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
MGD is a condition where the glands in the eyelids do not produce healthy oils for the tear film. This can lead to evaporative dry eye, irritation and fluctuating vision.
Myopia
Myopia is short-sightedness, where distance vision becomes blurred. It has strong links to increased screen time and reduced outdoor exposure.
Macula
The macula is the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision such as reading and recognising faces. Diseases affecting the macula can significantly impact visual clarity even if overall eyesight seems normal.
