Cataracts cloud the eye’s lens, while glaucoma damages the optic nerve and can silently affect vision. Understanding the difference and having regular eye checks can help protect your sight. 👁️ #EyeHealth #Cataract #Glaucoma

Cataract vs. Glaucoma 👁️

Both can affect your vision but they are very different conditions. #Cataracts cause clouding of the eye’s natural lens, while #glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to high eye pressure. Know the difference. #ophthalmology

After cataract surgery, follow your eye drops schedule, keep your eye clean, and avoid rubbing, heavy lifting, or swimming during recovery. Proper care ensures safe healing and clear vision. 👁️✨

Many people believe that if their vision feels fine, they don’t need an eye exam—but that’s a myth.
Regular eye exams can detect eye conditions early, often before symptoms appear.

Over 450,000 Australians live with low vision or blindness — a figure expected to exceed 560,000 by 2030 (Vision Australia).

Low vision can impact daily life and emotional wellbeing, but early detection can help slow or prevent vision loss.
