On the Importance of Regular Eye Check-up

Ngayong Sight Saving Month, nais pong paalalahan ang lahat na hindi kailangang hintayin na makaramdam ng sintomas bago magpacheck-up ng mata. Mainam na may regular na check-up sa mata upang maalagaan at hindi magresulta sa mga sakit sa paningin.

Kumonsulta sa espesyalista sa mata kahit isang beses kada taon kung walang nararamdaman na sintomas.

Ngunit kung may napapansin na pamumula o pananakit ng mata, pagluluha, may lumulutang o floaters, panlalabo ng paningin o history ng trauma sa mata, agad na pumunta sa mga health facility at magpacheck-up upang maagapan ang posibleng problema sa mata.

Children’s Eye Exams Before School Starts

A child’s success in school begins with clear vision! Children may not realize they have vision problems. Annual eye exams can detect:
🔍 Nearsightedness

Q: Are floaters and flashes normal, or should I be worried? 💡👁️
A: Floaters and flashes of lighttare often harmless, but sudden changes or a sudden increase in number of floaters and frequency of flashers of light can signal retinal detachment. It’s important to get checked if you experience any of these symptoms.

📅 Consult your ophthalmologist for a thorough eye examination.
