Learn about your eyes
Plain-language guides to common eye conditions, tests and treatments, written by the Bolt Eye Group team.
Eye conditions

Astigmatism
The front of the eye is shaped more like a football than a basketball. This blurs vision up close and far away. Glasses, toric contact lenses or scleral lenses correct it.

Epiretinal membrane
A thin layer of tissue on the retina that can blur vision or make straight lines look bent. We watch it with retinal scans and refer to a retina specialist if it gets worse.

Neuro-ophthalmology
How your eyes and brain work together, and what your visual field test can tell us.

Angle-closure glaucoma
When the eye's drain is narrow, pressure can rise quickly. We check how open the drain is and refer you for laser treatment if needed.
