May is Macula Month — a reminder to protect the part of your eye responsible for your sharpest vision.
Your macula helps you:
• read small print
• recognise faces
• drive safely
• see fine detail clearly
When the macula is affected, central vision can become blurred or distorted — even if your side vision stays normal. Many macular conditions develop slowly and early changes may not be noticeable at first.
A simple eye examination can detect problems early and help protect your sight. If you’re over 50, regular eye checks are especially important.
