October is Eye Care Awareness Month. This South African initiative is aimed at creating national awareness around the importance of eye health. 80% of blindness is avoidable and the message that blindness can be prevented is central to this initiative.
Some diseases, like glaucoma, have no early warning signs. Instead, vision deteriorates silently and painlessly until it results in total blindness. But if detected early enough and is correctly treated,
vision loss and blindness may be prevented.
Eyesight is one of the most precious gifts a person can have. Most eye conditions can be successfully treated if detected early. That’s why we encourage you to have your eyes checked this October, during Eye Care Awareness Month, and take practical measures to protect your eyes like wearing sunglasses and protecting your eyes against injuries.
A few simple habits can make all the difference in ensuring that you retain good vision throughout your life. We have listed a few useful guidelines for you to follow below.
