👁️ A little something from Andile Pieterson our Optometrist:

Is your child struggling with reading, skipping lines, letter reversals, trouble copying from distance to near, headaches, or poor concentration?
Your child’s vision may be good, but they could still be struggling with important visual skills needed for learning.

A Behavioural Eye Examination evaluates how visual skills such as tracking, eye movements, focusing, and eye teaming affect daily tasks — and how the brain and eyes work together to process information.

Early detection can make a big difference in your child’s confidence and school performance.

👁️ Glaucoma Awareness 💫

This week we’re shining the spotlight on Glaucoma Awareness Week, a global initiative to raise awareness about one of the leading causes of preventable blindness.

Our optometrist, Andile Pieterson, shares important information in the video below about what glaucoma is, who is at risk, and why regular eye exams are so important.

Glaucoma often develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms in the early stages, which means many people don’t realise they have it until vision loss has already occurred. Early detection through routine eye tests can make all the difference.

If you haven’t had your eyes tested recently, this is a good reminder to book your check-up and take care of your vision. 👓✨
