Both can affect your vision but they are very different conditions. #Cataracts cause clouding of the eye’s natural lens, while #glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to high eye pressure. Know the difference. #ophthalmology

Many people believe that if their vision feels fine, they don’t need an eye exam—but that’s a myth.
Regular eye exams can detect eye conditions early, often before symptoms appear.

We honour survivors, support those fighting, and remember those we’ve lost. Together, we can raise awareness, encourage early detection, and stand united against cancer.
Every action counts.
#WorldCancerDay #CancerAwareness
Over 450,000 Australians live with low vision or blindness — a figure expected to exceed 560,000 by 2030 (Vision Australia).
Low vision can impact daily life and emotional wellbeing, but early detection can help slow or prevent vision loss.
