The Amsler Grid is a simple at-home tool used to monitor changes in your central vision, which can be affected by conditions such as macular degeneration and epiretinal membrane.

To carry out the Amsler Grid test at home:
- Hold the grid about 30cm from your face while wearing your reading glasses.
- Cover your left eye and focus on the central dot with your right eye.
- Keep your gaze fixed on the dot—don’t look away.
- Repeat with your left eye.

If any lines appear wavy, distorted, blurred, or missing, contact your optometrist or eye specialist promptly, as this may indicate changes in the macula.

At Gates by Paterson Burn, we use advanced imaging such as OCT to detect early changes at the macula and support ongoing care. If you've noticed any changes in your vision, book in for an eye test with us today https://www.opticalbookings.co.nz/paterson-burn-optometrists-gates/store

👁️ Cataract Awareness Month: Don’t ignore cloudy vision

Did you know cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide — and affect millions of people as they age? A cataract develops when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing vision to be blurred, dull, or harder to see clearly.

🔍 Common signs of cataracts:
- Blurry or cloudy vision
- Increased glare or sensitivity to light
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Colours appearing faded or yellowed

✅ The good news
Cataracts are highly treatable, and early detection makes all the difference.
Regular eye exams can:
- Identify cataracts early
- Monitor changes in your vision
- Help you maintain clarity and confidence in everyday life

👓 Why these matters? Vision changes are often gradual… which means many people simply “put up with it” without realising help is available.

📍 At Gates by Paterson Burn, we’re here to guide you every step of the way — from early detection through to referral and ongoing care.

👉 If your vision isn’t as clear as it used to be, book an eye exam today. Click the link in our bio to secure the nearest appointment.

👁️ Blurry vision? It could be astigmatism.

Astigmatism is one of the most common causes of blurred or distorted vision — yet many people don’t realise they have it.
It simply means your eye isn’t perfectly round, so light doesn’t focus properly — leaving your vision slightly out of focus at both near and far distances.

🔍 Signs to look out for:
- Blurry or stretched vision
- Tired, strained eyes
- Headaches
- Trouble seeing clearly at night

✅ The good news! Astigmatism is easy to correct with the right glasses or contact lenses — once it’s properly diagnosed.

👓 Not sure if this sounds like you? Many people just “put up with it” without realising a clearer, more comfortable vision is possible.

👉 Book an eye exam with Gates by Paterson Burn today and get the clarity you deserve.
