How Glaucoma develops   Glaucoma occurs when the eye’s drainage system becomes blocked, causing pressure to build up inside the eye. Over time, this increased pressure damages the optic nerve and blood vessels, leading to gradual and permanent vision loss. Because this damage often happens without early symptoms, regular eye examinations are essential for early detection and protection of your sight.   #glaucomaawareness #eyehealtheducation #protectyourvision #specsaversopticianszw

What is a cataract? Continuation

Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually affect vision. At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye’s lens. You may not notice any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens. More clouding changes the light passing through the lens. This may lead to symptoms you notice more. Fortunately, cataract surgery is generally a safe, effective procedure. (Source www.mayoclinic.org)

What is a cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, which is typically clear. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car at night or see the expression on a friend's face. (Source www.mayoclinic.org)
