🚨 Glaucoma Awareness - Did you know that glaucoma damages the tiny nerve cells in the eye called retinal ganglion cells? These crucial cells in the eye that turn light into visual information and send it to the brain. Once these cells are damaged, vision loss is permanent.

The problem?
Glaucoma often has no early warning signs. Many people don’t realise anything is wrong until significant sight has already been lost.

⚠️ Early detection is the only way to protect your vision.

✔ Simple tests can detect glaucoma early
✔ Treatment can slow or stop further damage
✔ Regular eye exams can save your sight

Eye floaters are small specks, strands, or cloud-like shapes that drift across your vision. They become more common with age and are usually harmless. Over time, the brain often adapts, making them less noticeable.

For some people, floaters can be distracting and interfere with clear vision, affecting daily activities and quality of life. They occur when tiny collagen fibers in the vitreous gel clump together and cast shadows on the retina.

VitroCap®N is the first non-surgical, non-invasive, and scientifically studied treatment for eye floaters. It helps replenish the vitreous with antioxidative and anti-glycation micronutrients, supporting vitreous health and reducing the severity of floaters by targeting and reversing the clumping of collagen fibers.

In a 2021 clinical trial, VitroCap®N demonstrated a reduction in floaters and associated discomfort over six months.
