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

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing valuable information every Tuesday to help you understand glaucoma, its risks, and why early detection is so important for protecting your vision. Fact 1: Glaucoma often has no early warning signs, which is why many people don’t realise they have it until vision loss has already begun. Fact 2: Vision loss caused by glaucoma is permanent, but early detection through regular eye tests can help slow or prevent further damage. Stay informed. Stay proactive. Look out for our weekly updates. #GlaucomaAwarenessMonth #EyeHealthEducation #specsaversopticianszw

Diagnosing and Treating Myopia

Struggling to see things at a distance? Myopia (short-sightedness) can make everyday activities difficult, but there are solutions. Corrective lenses, like glasses and contact lenses, adjust how light focuses into your eye, while refractive surgery reshapes the eye’s surface for clearer vision. If poor vision is stopping you from doing the things you love, it’s time to see your optometrist for a thorough eye exam and explore the best treatment options for you.
