Cataract vs. Glaucoma πŸ‘οΈ

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 examβ€”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 β€” 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.

We hear this all the time.
Doctor, if there’s treatment available… why the glasses?
Most people are good candidates for refractive surgery β€” only a small percentage aren’t. And for many, it can be life-changing.

Book a consult and get a full refractive assessment.
