A simple conversation reminded me exactly who we are as Visiomed Eye Laser Clinic.

From the first consultation to post-surgery check-ins, we prioritise easing every concern with compassion, clarity and professional excellence. Our patients feel supported, informed and genuinely looked after every step of the way.
It’s this personal touch, combined with clinical expertise, that makes Visiomed stand out.

HIGH BOOD PRESSURE CAN DAMAGE YOUR EYES! (Hypertensive Retinopathy.)
Not only does high blood pressure cause cardiovascular diseases and strokes, it can also be fatal to your vision.
High blood pressure is a silent killer because most people experience no symptoms.
Visible symptoms are severe headaches, chest pain, nose bleeds, dizziness, shortness of breath and vision changes.
If you experience above symptoms, visit your local clinic or GP immediately.
However-be more pro-active and visit your GP once a year for a general checkup and blood analysis so any early signals of disease can be treated in time.
High blood pressure thickens and narrows the bloodvessels in your retina (the back nerve lining of your eyes that makes you see). Eventually the blood flow slows down and the blood vessels become blocked.
Blood is life. It provides the oxygen and nutrients that enable the organs in your body, and the structures in your eyes to thrive. Poor blood circulation leads to cell degeneration, blurred vision and eventual vision loss.
If the pressure is too high it will cause your blood vessels to leak blood into your eyes - leading to vision loss.
If you experience any of these symptoms, visit your local optometrist or ophthalmologist (eye specialist) as soon as they can assist.
If medicine is prescribed, ensure to take them religiously every day.

👁️ Nearsighted? Farsighted? Let’s clear it up 👓
• Nearsightedness (Myopia): You can see close-up clearly, but distant objects look blurry.
• Farsightedness (Hyperopia): You can see far away clearly, but nearby objects are out of focus.
No matter which one you are — regular eye check-ups keep your vision in focus 👀✨

A SIMPLE CONVERSATION THAT REMINDED ME WHO WE ARE.
My husband and I recently caught up with a farmer friend who shared something interesting. In their community, most farmers prefer using electric tools from a lesser-known company rather than the big names that have been around for decades. Why?
Because in this town, and probably others too, their service is exceptional — and the quality of the tools is just as impressive.
It made me realise how much Visiomed Eye Laser Clinic has in common with that company - except that we've existed close to 30 years.
We don’t just offer advanced technology, expert ophthalmologists and state-of-the-art facilities. What truly sets us apart is our continuous dedication, compassion, and the excellent care we provide every patient.
We know that the thought of surgery can be daunting. That’s why it’s our priority to ease every concern with a sensitive, caring approach and professional excellence — from the first consultation and pre-op preparation to post-surgery care.
It’s this personal touch, combined with our clinical expertise, that truly makes Visiomed stand out.
The heartbeat of our clinic is our ward where the patients are admitted and treated pre- and post-operatively, and the operating theatre where surgery is performed. Click on the slides to get a little peep into our world.

EXCITING EYE RESEARCH ON AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION THAT CAN HELP MILLIONS WITH VISION LOSS FROM ADVANCING AGE - MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has shown that scientists were able to restore some vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using an electronic retinal implant.
This immediately grabs the attention of AMD sufferers.
While this breakthrough offers real hope for the future, it’s important to remember that this treatment is still in early research stages and not available to the public as yet.
The results come from small, carefully controlled trials in specialized research centres overseas.
So while it’s wonderful to see such progress, we’re still in the very early days of this technology. For now, the best approach remains to have your eyes checked and managed by your optometrist or preferably an eye specialist (ophthalmologist), who will let you know when this technology is freely available.
While you wait - manage your AMD with proven treatments and lifestyle measures.
Science is moving forward — but we’re not there just yet!
Various Low Vision Centres in South Africa can teach you to optimise the vision you have and to cope with your challenges on a physical and emotional level.

💬 Common Concern: “Does cataract surgery hurt?” 👀
✨ The Answer:
No — cataract surgery is virtually painless!
Before the procedure, a specialised eye-numbing anesthetic is administered by the anesthetist. You might feel a little pressure or see light changes during surgery, but there’s no pain.
Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable the procedure is — and even more amazed at how clearly they can see afterwards! 👁️💙
At Visiomend, your comfort and care come first.
If you’ve been putting off cataract surgery because you’re worried it might hurt — you can relax. You’re in gentle hands.

THURSDAY, 9 OCTOBER IS WORLD SIGHT DAY!
World Sight Day — observed globally on the second Thursday of October each year — is a hands-on opportunity for the eye care community to change lives through sight-restoring care.
In South Africa, organisations such as the South African Optometric Association (SAOA), hospitals, universities, and private optometrists often join forces to provide free screenings, outreach clinics, and school vision checks.
Millions of people live with vision loss that could have been prevented or treated through regular eye tests. Early detection saves sight!
This year’s theme, “Children: Love Your Eyes”, reminds us to make children’s eye health a top priority. Catch them young — have their eyes tested from the age of three so that visual problems can be detected and treated early.
Healthy vision helps children reach their milestones and boosts their mental, physical, and scholastic development, even from the preschool years.
If you notice that your child’s development seems delayed compared to their peers, or they are non-responsive to hand movements, voices, or sounds, have their eyes and hearing tested as soon as possible.
Let’s work together to reduce preventable blindness.
LOVE YOUR EYES — THEY’RE FOR LIFE!
The pictures below were taken from various World Sight Day events.
