WORLD HIV AWARENESS DAY ❤️🩺

Your Eyes Can Reveal More Than You Think

Today we recognise World HIV Awareness Day - a reminder of the importance of early detection, regular health checks, and compassionate care.

What many people don’t know is that ophthalmologists are often the first specialists to detect signs of HIV/AIDS. The eyes can reveal early immune changes long before symptoms appear elsewhere in the body.

👁 How HIV/AIDS Shows Up in the Eyes

HIV can affect almost every part of the eye. Some of the most common findings include:
• Cotton wool spots - early signs of reduced immune function
• Retinal infections
• Eye inflammation
• Decreased vision or floaters

These changes can be subtle - but with early detection, they can be managed before vision is affected.

✨ Why Eye Screenings Matter
Regular eye examinations are essential for anyone living with HIV. A comprehensive eye check can:
• Detect early disease before vision is lost
• Monitor the effects of treatment
• Prevent complications such as blindness
• Support overall health monitoring

“The eyes often tell us the story first. Early screening saves sight - and sometimes lives.”
— Dr Johann Kruger

❤️ Let’s break the stigma, encourage early testing, and protect our vision and our health.

✨👁️ Don’t Let Cataracts Steal Your Moments 👁️✨

Ever missed a precious moment because of blurred vision? Cataracts can cloud our sight, causing us to lose out on life’s beautiful moments. From looking at beautiful Table Mountain to admiring a stunning sunset, every moment is worth seeing clearly.

Regular eye check-ups and early detection can help prevent these precious moments from slipping away. Take action today and ensure you capture every beautiful memory without a haze.

Do you think you might have a cataract? Or your eyes are suitable for eye laser vision correction?

EVO ICL vs FEMTO LASIK: Which Is Right for You?

Considering vision correction? FEMTO LASIK and the EVO ICL implant are both highly effective options, but they suit different eye profiles. At the Eye Laser & Cataract Centre, your specialist recommends the procedure that offers the safest and most predictable visual outcome for your eyes.

👁 FEMTO LASIK

Reshapes the cornea to correct vision.
• Fast recovery
• Ideal for mild-moderate prescriptions
• Requires sufficient corneal thickness

👁 EVO ICL

A soft, biocompatible lens implanted inside the eye.
• Ideal for high prescriptions
• Suitable for thin corneas
• Reversible and cornea-preserving

⭐️ Which option is best?

It depends on your corneal measurements, prescription, and overall eye health. A comprehensive assessment determines the safest and most effective choice.

How Diabetes Affects Your Eyes 👁️✨

Diabetes doesn’t only affect your blood sugar - it can impact every part of your eye.
This illustration shows how high glucose levels slowly change the natural lens and the eye’s drainage system.

🔹 Cloudy Lens (Cataracts)
When glucose levels stay high, the lens absorbs excess sugar, swells, and becomes cloudy.
This leads to blurred, foggy vision and can progress over time.

🔹 Higher Risk of Glaucoma
Diabetes can damage the eye’s drainage channels, increasing eye pressure and raising the risk of glaucoma - a serious condition that can cause permanent vision loss.

🔹 Glucose Everywhere
The floating glucose molecules highlight how diabetes infiltrates every part of the eye, contributing to long-term complications.

✨ The good news?
Regular diabetic eye screenings can detect early changes before they cause permanent vision loss.

WHAT IS KERATOCONUS? 👁️

Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape - causing blurred, distorted vision. It often begins in puberty and usually stabilises after 40.

Early signs:
• Blurry or warped vision
• Light sensitivity
• Frequent script changes
• Poor night vision

What causes it?
The exact cause is unknown, but eye rubbing and family history increase risk.

How we treat it:
✔ Glasses & soft lenses (early stages)
✔ RGP or hybrid lenses
✔ Corneal cross-linking (CXL) to stop progression
✔ Kera/Ferrara rings
✔ CAIRS (donor tissue rings)
✔ DALK (partial transplant)
✔ Full corneal transplant when needed

Why choose us?
Trusted keratoconus specialists since 1993 with advanced options like CAIRS, DALK and femtosecond laser technology.

Struggling with your vision?
Book an assessment at the Eye Laser & Cataract Centre - early treatment protects your sight.

Did you know that diabetes can silently damage your eyes - even before you notice any change in vision? 👁️

At the Eye Laser & Cataract Centre in Cape Town, Dr. Johann Krüger and his team specialise in detecting and treating diabetes-related eye disease early - before it steals your sight.

👩‍⚕️ Early detection saves vision.
