Eye health guide
Vision problems and eye diseases
Choose a topic and we will explain it calmly: what it is, how you notice it and what you can do.
Refractive errors
These are the most common. They are measured in the eye test and corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
Short-sightedness (myopia)You see well up close, but things far away are blurry.Find out more →
Long-sightedness (hyperopia)You find it harder to see up close than far away and your eyes get tired when reading.Find out more →
AstigmatismBlurry or distorted vision, up close and far away.Find out more →
Presbyopia or ageing eyesFrom 40 onwards, you hold your phone further away to be able to read.Find out more →
Eye diseases
They are diagnosed and treated by an ophthalmologist. In the eye test we can spot warning signs and, if so, we recommend that you see one.
GlaucomaIt damages the optic nerve and usually causes no symptoms at first.Find out more →
CataractsThe lens of the eye becomes cloudy and your vision gets more and more hazy.Find out more →
Macular degeneration (AMD)It affects central vision, the one you use to read and see details.Find out more →
Diabetic retinopathyDiabetes damages the vessels of the retina, often without warning.Find out more →
Dry eyeBurning, itching or a gritty feeling because a good layer of tears is missing.Find out more →

The first step
Your eye test, to see well and keep an eye on your eyes
At LUPER the eye test is personalised, takes 30 minutes and is free (worth €49). This is what we check:
- Medical historyYour health and eye history, and your family's.
- Visual acuity and prescriptionHow well you see far away and up close, eye by eye.
- Back of the eyeWe check the condition of the retina and the optic nerve.
- Extra tests if neededVisual field, focusing and eye coordination.
LUPER is an optician's, not a medical service. If in the eye test we see anything beyond your prescription, we explain it to you and recommend that you see an ophthalmologist, who is the one who diagnoses and treats eye diseases.

Many vision problems can be prevented or treated
That is what the World Health Organization (WHO) says in its report on blindness and visual impairment.
2.2 billion
people around the world have some kind of vision problem, near or far.
1 billion
of those cases, at least, could have been prevented or have not yet been treated.
The most common causes of poor distance vision are cataracts and uncorrected prescriptions, followed by macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. For near vision, the most common cause is presbyopia. (WHO, 2026)
Tips
How to look after your eye health
Small habits and timely check-ups make the difference.
Habits that help
- Wear sunglasses with a UV filter when you are outdoors, and a cap or hat with a brim.
- Do not smoke: tobacco increases the risk of cataracts.
- Eat fruit and vegetables every day.
- If you have diabetes, keep it under control.
- Protect your eyes in jobs or sports where there is a risk of knocks.
- If you wear contact lenses, follow their cleaning routine and wearing times to the letter.
Timely check-ups
- Children: have their eyes checked even if they do not complain about their vision.
- Adults: one full eye examination between the ages of 20 and 29 and two between 30 and 39; after that, as often as you are told.
- From 60, or if you have relatives with glaucoma: a check-up with the ophthalmologist every 1 or 2 years.
- With diabetes: an eye check-up every 1 or 2 years, or as your doctor advises.
When not to wait. If you have severe eye pain, suddenly lose vision, see flashes or lots of new floaters, or lose part of your field of vision, go to A&E or to an ophthalmologist without waiting. If straight lines start to look wavy, book an appointment with an ophthalmologist soon.

Frequently asked questions about eye health
What is eye health?
It is the good condition of your eyes and your vision. Looking after it means correcting your prescription properly, protecting your eyes from the sun and from knocks, having healthy habits and getting checked in good time to detect problems that cause no symptoms at first, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.
How often should I have my eyes checked?
Children, even if they do not complain. Adults, with a full eye examination once between the ages of 20 and 29 and twice between 30 and 39, and after that as often as you are told. If you are over 60, or have relatives with glaucoma, or have diabetes, a check-up every 1 or 2 years is recommended. And whenever you notice changes in your vision.
What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
The optometrist tests your eyes, works out your prescription, fits glasses and contact lenses and can detect warning signs in the eye test. The ophthalmologist is the specialist doctor: they diagnose and treat eye diseases and are the ones who operate. At LUPER, if we see anything beyond your prescription, we recommend that you see an ophthalmologist.
What are the most common eye diseases?
According to the WHO, the most common causes of poor distance vision are cataracts and uncorrected prescriptions, followed by age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. For near vision, the most common is presbyopia or ageing eyes.
Does the eye test detect glaucoma or cataracts?
In the eye test we check your prescription, the back of the eye and the optic nerve, and we can see signs that suggest a problem. The diagnosis is always made by the ophthalmologist, with their own tests. If we see anything, we recommend that you see one.
How much does the eye test cost at LUPER?
It is free. It is worth €49, takes 30 minutes and we do it at the 3 LUPER opticians in Murcia and San Pedro del Pinatar. We recommend that you book an appointment and arrive 10 minutes early.
What is low vision and how can you help me?
It is a loss of vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, contact lenses or surgery. At LUPER we advise you on optical aids so you can carry out your daily tasks better.
How do I protect my eyes from the sun?
With sunglasses that filter UV rays and a cap or hat with a brim when you are outdoors. Prolonged exposure to the sun is one of the risk factors for cataracts.
Eye health: everything you need to know to look after your eyes
What is eye health?
Eye health is the wellbeing of your eyes and the ability to see clearly. Keeping good eye health means preventing and detecting early problems such as eye strain, refractive errors, eye diseases or age-related deterioration of vision. The keys are regular eye check-ups, protecting your eyes from the sun, eating a balanced diet and not smoking.
Personalised eye test: the key to detecting vision problems
The LUPER personalised eye test measures your prescription and checks the back of the eye and the optic nerve. It detects short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism or presbyopia, and it can show warning signs of diseases such as glaucoma or macular degeneration; in that case we recommend that you see an ophthalmologist, who is the one who diagnoses and treats them. It takes 30 minutes, is worth €49 and is free.
Common eye diseases
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve and usually causes no symptoms at first, which is why check-ups are important. Cataracts are a clouding of the lens of the eye, common with age, that makes vision hazy. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the centre of the retina, and central vision. Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that damages the vessels of the retina. Dry eye appears when the eye cannot keep a good layer of tears.
Vision therapy
Vision therapy is a programme of personalised, supervised visual exercises to improve focusing and eye coordination, in children and adults.
Ocular prostheses
When an eye is lost through injury or illness, a made-to-measure ocular prosthesis helps to restore the symmetry of the face. At LUPER Canalejas we see you and explain every step.
Low vision
Low vision is a loss of vision that cannot be fully corrected with ordinary glasses or contact lenses and makes it difficult to read, drive or recognise faces. At LUPER we advise you on optical aids to improve your quality of life.

Sonia Merino Santiago (Ayame)Hace 5 meses · LUPER Marcos Redondo
Vine en Abril a traer mis monturas a ponerle lentes, pedir presupuesto para mis monturas y el precio me ha gustado. Ademas de un trato excelente, buenos precios, grandes profesionales, magníficas promociones, únete a la familia Luper. Hoy ha comenzado mi primer día de muchos junto a esta magnífica empresa murcianica. Mil gracias!! En poco tendré mis preciosas gafas y el mes que viene otras al 50%. Puedes pagar unas y luego las otras. Fácil, sencillo, profesional e impecable. Te Dan tu informe oftalmológico detallado. Y me rellenan el tarrito limpiacristales para siempre gratis con mi compra. A que esperas?? Se lo he recomendado ya a todas mis amistades, porque lo bueno se comparte. Mil gracias!!
15/05 He llevado 4 monturas aprovechando el 50% para graduar mis gafas, una de ellas de sol. Y quedaron preciosas. Mil gracias siempre 💕

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una atención excepcional, de las que ya no se encuentran fácilmente
Quiero destacar especialmente la experiencia que he tenido en Audiologia Lúper, en Murcia. Desde el primer momento, el trato ha sido absolutamente excepcional: cercano, amable, paciente y, sobre todo, muy profesional.
Te hacen sentir cómodo y bien atendido desde que entras por la puerta, algo que para mí tiene muchísimo valor. Se nota que no se limitan simplemente a hacer su trabajo, sino que realmente se preocupan por la persona que tienen delante y por ofrecerle la mejor atención posible.
Me voy con una sensación de total satisfacción y confianza. Da gusto encontrar profesionales que trabajan con tanta dedicación y que además ofrecen un trato tan humano.
Mi valoración no puede ser otra que cinco estrellas, y sinceramente se quedan cortas. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Enhorabuena a todo el equipo de Audiometría Lúper por la profesionalidad, la cercanía y el trato recibido. 100 % recomendable.
Joaquin Moya TárragaHace 1 mes · LUPER San Pedro del Pinatar
Quiero dejar esta reseña para destacar el trato de Ópticas Luper, pero sobre todo para agradecer de corazón a María. Hacía tiempo que no me encontraba con una atención al cliente tan brillante, atenta y cercana.
Fui a comprar unas gafas de sol y María marcó por completo la diferencia. Tiene un ojo clínico y un gusto impecable para asesorar: supo al instante qué montura y cristales encajaban mejor con mis facciones y estilo. Su paciencia, su simpatía natural y la pasión con la que hace su trabajo convierten la compra en un auténtico placer. Se nota cuando a alguien le apasiona lo que hace y cuida cada detalle con tanto cariño.
Salí encantadísimo con mis gafas nuevas y con la certeza de que no piso otra óptica que no sea esta. ¡Empleadas como María valen oro!
Recomendable al 200%.
virginia romero abenzaHace 6 meses · LUPER Marcos Redondo
Hoy he estado y me ha atendido Jaime. Muy profesional, sincero y honesto. Me he hecho dos gafas, unas progresivas y otras de lejos con clip para sol. Mis dos amigas son clientas y también han estado hace dos días. Me voy muy satisfecha y deseando recoger mis nuevas gafas
Carlos Béjar GómezHace 1 mes · LUPER Canalejas
Pedí dos gafas, unas normales y otras de sol graduadas. Las dos llegaron normales y tuve que esperar otras 3 semanas en tener las de sol (pagadas desde el primer día, claro).
Pero bueno, eso considero que es un fallo humano y ya está, no es lo peor. Lo que más me molesta es que no veo bien con ellas, me graduaron rápido y mal (y eso que iba con cita).
AndreaHace 3 meses · LUPER San Pedro del Pinatar
Llevo varios años acudiendo para hacerme nuevas gafas y estoy encantada. Siempre que puedo cojo cita para la revisión de la vista con Pilar porque es una gran profesional, muy agradable, siempre aconsejando que gafas te quedan mejor y enseñando todos los modelos de la tienda. Sin duda, la recomiendo 100%!
Zina ZinaHace 3 meses · LUPER Marcos Redondo
Quiero destacar especialmente la atención de Carolina en Ópticas LUPER Murcia. Mi caso es complejo (trasplante de córnea de hace más de 40 años, con antecedentes de rechazo), y aun así se tomó el tiempo de explicarme cada prueba con mucha paciencia y profesionalidad. No estaba obligada a dedicarme tanto tiempo ni a hacerme pruebas adicionales, y aun así no dudó en ayudarme sin ningún coste. Se nota que le importa de verdad el bienestar de sus pacientes, no solo vender un producto. Muy agradecido por su trato humano y su profesionalidad. Totalmente recomendable.
НаталиHace 3 meses · LUPER Canalejas
Muy buena experiencia en esta óptica. Hoy he venido para revisar mi vista y comprar unas gafas nuevas, y me han atendido con mucha profesionalidad, paciencia y amabilidad.
Me han explicado todas las opciones con claridad, sin presionarme a elegir extras que no necesitaba, y han tenido en cuenta mis necesidades para encontrar la mejor solución para mí.
He valorado mucho la atención personalizada y la sensación de confianza durante todo el proceso. Además, tienen una buena variedad de monturas y opciones de calidad.
Muchas gracias por el trato recibido. Sin duda, recomiendo esta óptica.

JUAN PEDRO ALCOLEA ABENZAHace 3 meses · LUPER Marcos Redondo
El trato ha sido espectacular,muy amable y comprometida.
En relación al precio,me he quedado sorprendido,por qué las ultimas gafas que compré me costaron una buena pasta y aquí me llevo dos pares de gafas por poco dinero.
Muy buena impresión .
La recomiendo.
Stefania GattusoHace 8 meses · LUPER Canalejas
La revisión fue excelente. El equipo es muy profesional, amable y atento en todo momento. Explican todo con claridad y transmiten mucha confianza.
Me sentí muy cómoda durante toda la visita y salí muy satisfecha. Sin duda se convertirá en mi óptica de confianza.
La recomiendo totalmente.
Diego Requena LópezHace 8 meses · LUPER San Pedro del Pinatar
Es una óptica maravillosa, muy competente el personal y súper agradable. Era la primera vez que iba a revisar mi graduación y me han ido explicando todo en cada momento, y haciéndome sentir súper cómodo. Pilar es una óptica muy cualificada y se nota la gran formación que tiene.
