World Health Day Reminder: Eye Health Is Part of Overall Health
Your eyes can reveal signs of many health conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure.
👁️ Why regular eye exams matter:
• Detect eye diseases early
• Monitor vision changes
• Identify health-related eye problems
• Help maintain long-term eye health
Schedule regular eye check-ups—even if your vision seems fine.
PUBLIC ADVISORY FROM THE PHILIPPINE ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY:Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices that are being peddled as a cure-all or prevention of different eye conditions. Consult your ophthalmologist for the proper care of your eyes.
