The gift of giving…. Such a joy and privilege to still be able to offer care and service to our children in South Africa who aren’t afforded the vision care they need 🙏

Optometry is understated as a primary care medical practitioner.

We are trained to detect metabolic disorders, as well as neurological problems and many other medical issues that show up alongside headaches and poor vision; and don’t underestimate what a long, in-depth questioning case history can reveal to us that you are unaware of.

I’ve had the privilege of diagnosing many different medical and neurological conditions and supported patients getting medical care sooner than they would have.

At the very least, PLEASE have regular ANNUAL check ups to make sure you aren’t developing eye conditions that could be reversed or treated.

And especially for you, who think you’re winning by buying over the counter reading specs and not having check ups, you’re not winning. I’ve seen so many patients with lost vision due to disease because they figured they were fine because the readers worked.

Take care of you, make good choices.
All the best,
Bev Milun

Mmhmmmm. But much younger patients also sleep with them and accidentally have them in and slipping to the back of the eye sac… this lady got away with very little consequence… that seldom happens 🙏 please be respectful of contact lenses, they’re medical devices, they need to be fitted and chosen properly by a registered optometrist and used according to the specifications.

Blessings for a great 2025 of perfect vision

Brian Sneag was not a man, he was a mountain in his life and in the Optometry world of Southern Africa. I was privileged to know him and speak with him from time to time and I will miss his
wisdom and perspective on the life and plights of optometrists navigating the medical and societal world. 🙏

May his Dear Soul Rest in Peace and May his family know the comfort afforded them amongst each other, from all of us and all of his people 🙏

Blessings always,
Bev Milun

What a privilege clearer vision is… please make sure an optometrist with a specialized interest in PAEDIATRIC OPTOMETRY checks your children’s vision… at the very least, for the FIRST time, between 3 and 5 years of age…

REMEMBER, it’s not your role to know if both eyes work well, if both eyes work as well as each other…. Or how your baby sees on screens or books compared to the TV… it’s not your role…

This one made us feel good. Real good...
