We’re celebrating love today 💘 and your heart and your eyes are more connected than you might think!
❓Did you know that some of the smallest blood vessels in your body are in your eyes?
❓Did you know your optometrist can sometimes see diabetes and hypertension in your eyes?
❓Did you know that a small stroke can be seen in your eyes?
Conditions like these can affect tiny blood vessels of the eye, sometimes showing clinical signs before symptoms are even detected elsewhere in the body. Regular eye exams don’t just support clear vision, they can also offer valuable insights into your overall health.
🥦This February, take a moment to prioritise heart-healthy habits like staying active, eating well, and booking an eye test with your Doctor of Optometry, as looking after your sight helps protect your heart and your health.
❤️ Make heart health a priority – book an eye test this February!
