Cataracts can develop slowly, and many people dismiss the early signs.
1️⃣ Cataracts happen when the natural lens becomes cloudy.
2️⃣ Common signs include blurry vision, glare, and trouble seeing at night.
3️⃣ Risk increases after 50, and it can happen earlier with diabetes, injury, or long-term steroid use.
4️⃣ The effective treatment is cataract surgery with lens replacement.
If you are experiencing these changes, consult an ophthalmologist.

Many kids don’t know how to express that they’re not seeing clearly. That’s why knowing the signs matters.
Squinting, eye rubbing, headaches, or clumsiness could all point to vision problems that are easy to fix—if caught early.

Regular eye checks can help detect these issues before they affect learning and confidence.

👩‍⚕️ Dr. Kavitha, Consultant Ophthalmologist at Pantai Hospital Ayer Keroh, offers gentle, child-friendly screenings.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸‑𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵:
• Only numbing drops are needed — no general anaesthesia
• A tiny opening is made to access the cloudy lens
• The cataract is broken up and removed using gentle ultrasound
• A clear artificial lens (IOL) is placed inside the eye
• No stitches are usually required — the incision self‑seals
• Vision begins improving within days for most patients

There are different lens options available (monofocal, multifocal, toric), and the right choice depends on your lifestyle, goals and eye condition. During consultation, every patient receives personalised guidance.

If cataracts are affecting your daily life — reading, night driving, recognising faces — you don’t have to wait for it to worsen.
Restore clarity. Restore independence. Restore confidence.

Let’s break it down step by step! 👁️✨

But glaucoma is different — it can steal vision without pain, without symptoms, without you knowing.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure.
It usually begins by affecting your peripheral (side) vision, which means you may only notice it once the condition is already advanced — and vision loss from glaucoma is not reversible.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱?
▪ Age above 40
▪ Family history of glaucoma
▪ Diabetics
▪ High eye pressure
▪ Anyone with unexplained visual changes

The only way to detect glaucoma early is through a full eye examination — not just a simple power check. Tests may include eye pressure reading, optic nerve evaluation, visual field testing or OCT scans.

Early detection can save sight.
Late detection can cost it.

If you’re at risk or haven’t had your eyes checked recently, this may be the reminder you need.

But did you know it can silently damage your eyes too?
👁️ Hypertensive retinopathy happens when high blood pressure affects the blood vessels in your eyes.
It can lead to:
Blurred vision
Eye strain
Even permanent vision loss (if left untreated)
The scariest part?
🛑 You might not notice symptoms until it’s already serious.
That’s why if you’re living with hypertension—or caring for someone who is—regular eye exams are crucial.
An eye screening can help detect early signs of hypertensive damage, often before any vision changes happen.
Your eyes might even reveal warning signs of high blood pressure before the rest of your body does.
📍 If you have high blood pressure, don’t wait.
Book a consultation with Dr. Kavitha, Consultant Ophthalmologist at Pantai Hospital Melaka and stay ahead of silent threats to your vision.
Your eyes are a window to your health.
Keep them safe. Get them checked.

They might seem harmless—but in some cases, they could be warning signs your eyes need urgent attention.
👁️ Floaters look like shadows or cobwebs drifting across your vision—common as we age, or after cataract surgery.
⚡ Flashes feel like lightning flickers in your side vision—often caused by the eye’s jelly (vitreous) tugging on the retina.
🚨 When to worry?
If you suddenly notice a shower of floaters, frequent flashes, or a shadow like a curtain in your vision—this could mean a retinal tear or detachment, and it's a medical emergency.
Don't wait. Get it checked immediately.
🧠 Not all floaters and flashes are dangerous, but knowing when to act could save your sight.
📍 If you’re unsure or experiencing changes in your vision, book an eye check-up with Dr. Kavitha, Consultant Ophthalmologist at Pantai Hospital Melaka.
Let’s keep your vision clear—together.
