Why you should have an eye screening?

If you are 55 years and older you should definitely have an eye screening.

Why??

Most of the eye conditions are preventable. Many of them are asymptomatic until late stage.

These are

Cataract, which is clouding of the normal human lens.

Primary open angle glaucoma, which causes blindness by raised eye pressure.

Age-related macular degeneration, which causes loss of central vision and smoking is an important risk factor.

Diabetic retinopathy, changes in the posterior part of the eye due to diabetes.

I will describe these conditions in my subsequent blogs.

So see your ophthalmologist if you have not until now..
