👁️ Glaucoma vs Macular Degeneration — what’s the difference?
Both conditions can lead to vision loss, but they don’t affect your eyes in the same way.
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often linked to high eye pressure, and usually starts with loss of peripheral (side) vision.

Macular Degeneration affects the macula in the centre of your retina, leading to central vision loss that makes reading and recognising faces harder.

✨ The key takeaway? Both are serious, both can be silent in the early stages — and both require early detection to protect your sight.
✅ Don’t wait for symptoms.

👁️ Did you know?
Dry eye doesn’t always feel “dry.”
It can appear as burning, watery eyes, blurry vision, or even constant eye fatigue. The name doesn’t always match the experience.
✨ Being aware of these signs helps you take better care of your eyes and protect your vision in the long run.

🎯 Thinking about SupraLASIK?
Here’s the #1 mistake patients make after surgery — treating it like the finish line instead of the start of recovery.

💧 Skipping eye drops, rubbing your eyes, or rushing back into workouts can slow down healing and affect your results.
SupraLASIK is built for sharper, faster, and safer vision — but only when you follow the aftercare properly.

👓 Wondering if you actually need glasses?
The signs aren’t always obvious — headaches, blurry vision, or eye strain could be your eyes trying to tell you something.

📍For adults: squinting, headaches, or struggling with screens.
📍For kids: holding books too close, eye rubbing, or falling behind at school.

The only way to know for sure? A quick, painless eye exam. It could change the way you see the world.

👀 Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar — it can quietly harm your eyes too.
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the top causes of blindness, and the scariest part is… you might not notice until it’s advanced.
✨ The good news? With regular eye checks and timely treatments, most vision loss can be prevented.

Your health check isn’t complete without an eye check.
