👁️✨ U is for Uvea!
The uvea is the middle layer of your eye’s outer wall and is made up of three key parts: the Iris, Ciliary Body, and Choroid.

Each plays a vital role in your vision:
🔹 The Iris adjusts your pupil to control light entering your eye.
🔹 The Ciliary Body helps your eye focus on objects near and far.
🔹 The Choroid nourishes your eye with blood vessels and supports healthy vision.

The uvea may not get the spotlight, but it’s working hard every second to keep your eyes seeing clearly! 👓💡

👀 Tunnel Vision: Understanding Peripheral Vision Loss

Tunnel vision is when your field of view narrows, making it feel like you’re looking through a tunnel. It can be caused by conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, migraines, or even hypertension.

⚠️ If you notice your side vision shrinking or feel dizzy/unsteady, don’t ignore it—get your eyes checked! Early detection can make all the difference.

👁️ R is for Retinal Detachment 👁️
A retinal detachment is when the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) pulls away from its supporting layers. This is a serious eye emergency that requires immediate care.

🔎 Watch for symptoms like:
• Sudden increase in floaters
• Flashes of light (like sparks or fireworks)
• A shadow or curtain over part of your vision
• Loss of peripheral vision

⚠️ Without treatment, retinal detachment can cause permanent vision loss or blindness in the affected eye.

💡 Early treatment options—like laser surgery or other procedures—can help save vision. If you notice these symptoms, seek eye care immediately!

Q is for Quality of Vision!
Quality of vision is more than just “good eyesight.” It’s a combination of:
👁 Visual acuity – how sharp and clear your vision is (like 20/20).
🎨 Colour vision – how accurately you see the colours around you.
💡 Light sensitivity – how your eyes respond to bright lights.

All of these factors work together to help you see the world at its best. If it’s been a while since your last eye check, now’s a great time to book one! 👓✨
