👁️🩸 Diabetes can affect your eyes, even if your vision is fine.
Diabetic eye disease often develops silently, without pain or early warning signs.

That’s why people living with diabetes need annual dilated eye exams. Dilation allows your ophthalmologist to check for early changes in the retina — including bleeding, swelling, or damaged blood vessels — long before vision is affected.

Early detection means earlier treatment and better protection of your sight.

If you have diabetes, make your eyes part of your year-end health check.

Let’s exercise moderation and not overindulge this Christmas.

👁️💧 Why your eyes feel extra dry around this time of year

Between AC, fans, Christmas cleaning, late nights, and more screen time, December can be tough on the tear film. Many patients notice their eyes feeling dry, gritty, irritated, or tired — and it’s not just the weather.

Common triggers this season include:

* Constant AC or fans drying out the air
* Dust and cleaning products during Christmas prep
* More screen time (movies, shopping, kids home)
* Allergies and scented candles/sprays
* Age-related tear changes or autoimmune conditions

The good news? Dry eye is treatable. From artificial tears to prescription therapies, warm compresses, lid care, and in-office treatments — we can help bring back comfort and clarity.

Book a dry eye evaluation and give your eyes some relief this holiday season.

👁️✨ How do you know when it’s time for cataract surgery?

Not every cataract needs surgery right away — but certain symptoms are signs that your vision (and safety) may be affected.
Here’s what to look out for:

• Increased glare or halos around lights
• Trouble driving at night
• Blurry or foggy vision that glasses can’t fix
• Difficulty with reading or daily tasks
• Colours looking dull or washed out

If these symptoms sound familiar, it may be time to reassess your cataract. Modern cataract surgery is safe, quick, and can dramatically improve your quality of life.

Book a cataract consultation today and see the difference.

👁️✨ Why get a dilated eye exam every year?

During your visit, your ophthalmologist may use special drops to gently widen your pupils.
This dilation lets us see the entire back of the eye — including the retina, macula, and optic nerve — areas that stay hidden during a regular exam.

The drops take a few minutes to work, and you may notice:
* Slight blur up close
* Light sensitivity
* A wider, darker-looking pupil

These effects are temporary, but the information we get is incredibly important.
Through dilation, we can detect early signs of:
* Cataract progression
* Glaucoma damage
* Diabetic retinopathy
* Retinal tears or other silent changes

A few drops now can protect your vision for years to come.

I’m kinda busy…giving others the gift of seeing their world clearly again 👀♥️

Restoring vision is a privilege I never take for granted. In the rhythm of clinic and the quiet focus of the OR, I’m reminded of why I chose this path.

There is purpose in every lens I replace, every cloud I lift, every moment a patient sees their world clearly again. This work is more than busy days… it’s purpose, gratitude, and the honour of helping someone rediscover their light.

In the gift of sight I find my calling ♥️

👵🏽💬 “Granny said after cataract surgery, yuh must stay in the dark!”
But that’s not quite true 👁️✨

While bright sunlight can feel uncomfortable right after surgery, you don’t need to lock yourself away. Just follow the proper care tips for a safe, smooth recovery:

✅ Use your prescribed eye drops
✅ Wear your protective eye shield
❌ Don’t rub your eyes
❌ Don’t lift heavy objects or bend excessively
❌ Don’t swim or get water in your eyes
❌ Don’t wipe your eyes with a dirty rag or cloth
❌ Don’t let soap or shampoo get into the eye while bathing

Good lighting is perfectly safe — just avoid harsh sun until your doctor advises otherwise.
If you have any questions, ask us in the comments — Dr. Christiana Roopnarine-Boodoo is always ready to help. 👁️💙

👵🏽💬 “Granny said wear yuh shades in the sun — it go slow down the cataract.”
And you know what? Granny might be on to something 😎

Cataracts develop mainly because of:
✨ Ageing (the most common cause)
🚬 Smoking
🩸 Diabetes
💊 Long-term steroid use
🌞 And yes… UV exposure too!

So while shades won’t stop a cataract, protecting your eyes from UV light can help reduce your risk over time — especially when combined with healthy habits and regular eye checks.

So yes, Granny — we giving you this one ✅💚
