This week, we’re shining a light on Cataract Awareness Month at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Rochdale.👁️

Cataracts are a leading cause of vision loss — but the good news is, they can be treated with a simple, life-changing procedure. 💫

Our Medical Director and Consultant Ophthalmologist, Mr Charles Kanavati, shares some powerful reminders:
✨Cataracts are common, but vision loss does not have to be. Awareness is the first step.
✨Blurry vision is not just aging, get your eyes checked for cataracts. You do not have to live in a fog, cataract surgery can bring back the colours of life.
✨Cataracts do not have to cloud your life. Early detection restores sight and confidence. See the world clearly again, cataract surgery can give your life a new focus.
✨It is not just your vision, it is your independence. Cataract treatment gives both back. Vision restored. Life transformed. Cataract surgery changes more than just how you see.

Don’t wait - book your cataract surgery at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Rochdale.
