Watch as Dr Don shares about a memorable case of a man who was told he was going blind due to severe glaucoma. 👁️

After a thorough examination, Dr Don discovered that the real cause was a subluxed lens, not glaucoma. The patient underwent surgery to secure the lens, and made a remarkable recovery, regaining his vision and even going off his glaucoma medication.

If you know someone whose lens is no longer centered, fret not - come see us and we’ll help set your vision straight.

What should you do if you have a family history of eye diseases? 👁️

While some conditions that cause blindness are rare, others like glaucoma or macular diseases (including night blindness) can be managed effectively with early detection and treatment.

If this runs in your family, make eye screenings a regular habit — prevention is always better than cure.

Ever heard of microsporidia keratitis? 👀

Watch as Dr Don shares an interesting case behind a patient’s recurring red eyes and the surprising cause behind it.

🍇 Antioxidants: Colourful fruits and cruciferous veggies (think berries, kale, broccoli)
🍗 Lean proteins: Chicken, eggs, or tofu to support overall eye health

Need another reason to stop rubbing your eyes? Here’s one 🚨

Dr Don shares a fascinating case of a patient whose lens became dislocated (subluxed) after repeated violent sneezes and constant eye rubbing — leading to a sharp decline in vision.

While a simple surgery restored his sight, this serves as a strong reminder: don’t rub your eyes! And if you have an artificial lens that isn’t working as well as before, book your check-up ASAP.
