Dry eyes, nearsightedness, cataracts, glaucoma, floaters, red eye — a calm walkthrough without scare tactics or advertising. When you shouldn’t wait, which doctor to see, and which treatments actually work.
How eye disease changes vision
A clouding lens scatters light: the picture turns dim, yellowish and low in contrast, and bright light dazzles.

Every topic is in the catalog — from dry eye to glaucoma.
Topics
Every problem lives in its own part of the eye. Hover over a topic and the diagram shows where it happens.
Interactive
How a diseased eye sees, what the instruments in the exam room show, and what happens during surgery — shown in models, not just described.
Recreate how you see — halos around headlights, visual snow, blind spots, double vision — and copy a description for your doctor.
Ultrasound, OCT, perimetry, slit lamp, tonometry — take the doctor’s seat and work through real clinical cases.
Step by step, with the surgeon’s instruments and different clinical cases.
Vision tests
Simplified versions of checks from the doctor’s office, right on your screen. Not a diagnosis, but a reason to book an exam in time.
Prevention
Guidelines for people without complaints. With symptoms, eye disease or on your doctor’s advice — more often.
Children
before school, then every year
Checks for visual acuity and strabismus; with nearsightedness, follow-up every 6–12 months.
Ages 18–39
every 2–5 years
If you have no complaints or eye conditions. Contact lens wearers — every year.
Ages 40–64
every 1–3 years
A baseline exam at 40: eye pressure, optic nerve, retina. Age-related farsightedness begins.
65+
every 1–2 years
The risk of cataracts, glaucoma and AMD rises — many of them cause no symptoms for a long time.
One dot — one routine eye exam
Your own schedule
Diabetes — every year
A dilated retinal exam or retinal photos — regardless of how well you see.
High myopia, glaucoma in the family — on your doctor’s schedule
Retinal periphery, eye pressure and optic nerve — more often and earlier than for everyone else.
Courses
Short courses on what actually protects your eyes — backed by evidence, with no “vision-restoring” eye exercises.
Who’s who
You almost always start with an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. Subspecialists get involved once the diagnosis is clear.
Glasses and contact lens prescriptions, routine vision checks
Any complaint beyond a simple glasses prescription, and regular exams after 40
