Keratoconus in Children: Why Early Detection Matters

Keratoconus can develop in children and teenagers - sometimes as young as 13 years old - and it often progresses faster in younger eyes.

Early diagnosis allows for timely treatment such as corneal crosslinking (CXL), which helps to strengthen the cornea and slow or stop progression, protecting vision for the future.

Key signs parents should watch for:
👁️ Rapid changes in glasses prescription
👁️ Blurred or distorted vision
👁️ Increased light sensitivity
👁️ Frequent eye rubbing

An important reminder:
🚫 Eye rubbing can worsen keratoconus and accelerate corneal weakening - especially in children.

Routine eye screenings and early intervention can make a lifelong difference.

📅 Early assessment is key for young patients

Pace Crosslinking for Keratoconus: Protecting Young Eyes Early

Keratoconus often begins in the teenage years and can progress rapidly in young patients.

At just 14 years old, early diagnosis and Pace Corneal Crosslinking can play a critical role in slowing or stopping progression, helping to preserve vision long-term.

Why early crosslinking matters:
👁️ Keratoconus progresses faster in younger eyes
👁️ Early treatment helps stabilise the cornea
👁️ It may reduce the need for more invasive treatment later

A crucial reminder for young patients and parents:
🚫 Avoid eye rubbing.
Frequent eye rubbing is strongly linked to worsening keratoconus and faster corneal weakening.

Early screening, education, and timely treatment can make a lifelong difference.

📅 Book an assessment if keratoconus is suspected.

TransPRK: Safe, Gentle & Precision Laser Vision Correction

TransPRK is a touchless, flap-free laser eye procedure performed directly on the surface of the cornea - with no incision and no suction.

You may be a good candidate for TransPRK if you:
✔️ Have thin or sensitive corneas
✔️ Are not suitable for LASIK
✔️ Live an active or contact-sport lifestyle
✔️ Have stable vision
✔️ Prefer a surface-based, flap-free treatment

Using the SCHWIND AMARIS laser, the epithelium and vision correction are completed in one precise step, supporting excellent long-term results and high corneal stability.

📅 Book an assessment to find your safest option.

NEVER AGAIN.....

After wearing glasses or contact lenses for almost 30 years, I can hardly believe I am saying this, but I will never have to wear specs again.

I recently had EVO ICL implants done by Dr. Johann Kruger and his incredible team at the Eye Laser & Cataract centre - Tygervalley, and it has truly been life changing. Waking up every morning and seeing clearly without reaching for my glasses still feels surreal.

A huge thank you to Dr. Kruger for his professionalism, care, and for quite literally giving me a new outlook on life.. both on and off the golf course!

I am also beyond excited to continue supporting Juandre Kruger and the amazing work he is doing at , helping to prevent and treat avoidable blindness across South Africa. What an unbelievable initiative changing lives every single day.

Here is to a world seen more clearly, and to never wearing specs again. 👁💙

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?
