The Silent Thief of Sight: Preventable Blindness
Not all vision loss is sudden — many causes are silent and preventable. Here are 5 common threats you might be ignoring:

🔹 Medications – Some meds can damage your eyes over time. Always consult your doctor and tell your optometrist what you're taking.
🔹 Diabetes – High blood sugar can lead to diabetic retinopathy. Regular eye exams are crucial.
🔹 Glaucoma – No symptoms until it’s too late. Early detection saves sight.
🔹 Eye Injuries – Even small accidents can have lasting effects. Wear protective eyewear.
🔹 Poor Diet – Lack of essential nutrients may increase the risk of eye diseases.

✅ Your sight is precious – protect it.
Book your comprehensive eye exam at Peermed Optom today and take the first step in preventing avoidable blindness.
