👁️‍🗨️What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a common eye condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision, faded colours, and glare sensitivity.
They often develop slowly with age — but the good news? Cataracts can be treated with a simple and safe surgical procedure that restores clear vision! 👓✨
If you're noticing changes in your sight, like cloudy vision or flare and haloes around lights at night, don’t ignore it. Book an eye exam and take the first step toward clearer sight.
Your eyes deserve the best care! 💙

Myopia is increasing

20/05/2025

19/05/2025

This week is Myopia Awareness Week and the very suitable message of "Screens Down, Eyes Up!"

Why is Myopia important? Because the eye grows longer causing a higher risk of the eye diseases: retinal detachment, myopic macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataract!

So what can be done.....

Wishing all the Mums out there a very special day!✨
