Noticing changes in your vision? It might be more than just age.

If colours seem duller, night driving feels harder, or your world looks a little hazier, cataracts could be the cause. They’re more common than you think, and they often creep in gradually.

June is Cataract Awareness Month, a timely reminder to stay informed and proactive about your eye health. Cataracts are treatable, and early detection can make all the difference.

Happy International Sunglasses Day! 😎

More than just a stylish accessory, sunglasses are essential for protecting your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Just like sunscreen shields your skin, UV-blocking sunglasses help prevent long-term damage to your eyes, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis also known as sunburned eyes!

Top Tips for eye-safe style:
🕶 Choose sunglasses with 100% UVA & UVB protection
🕶 Wraparound styles or oversized frames offer extra coverage

Throw on your favourite shades, protect your vision and look good doing it!
