Great to see our dedicated optometrist, Troy Cui, and his lovely patient Liz in today’s River City Press Whanganui for World Sight Day – reminding us all how important it is to check symptoms early to help prevent vision loss 💙🩵 🤍

Symptoms of a retinal detachment are not something you want to leave to chance - ALWAYS have the symptoms checked out as soon as they appear.

Symptoms are:

🧐 Flashes of light
🧐 Vision partially or fully obscured by what looks like cobweb/curtains
🧐 Sudden appearance of things 'floating' or obstructing vision
🧐 Sudden loss of vision in one eye

If you experience any of these symptoms, please call us on 06 345 4665 to speak to our team.

If you have ever been curious about retinal detachments, the symptoms and how they are treated please watch this informative video below.

Today is WORLD SIGHT DAY 👀 - with the focus on preventable blindness.

Did you know that up to 90% of blindness in New Zealand is preventable with early detection and treatment? Many serious eye conditions show no symptoms in their early stages, which is why regular eye exams are so important — even if you think your vision is fine.

This World Sight Day, take a moment to prioritise your vision. Book an eye exam for yourself or a loved one and help protect the gift of sight for life. 💙
