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

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.
