FAQs
When should I have a routine eye check-up?
Adults should have eye exams every 1–2 years, and those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of eye disease should have annual screenings.
What is the treatment for cataract?
Cataract is treated through a short, painless surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens, restoring vision.
Can diabetes affect the eyes?
Yes. Diabetes can cause diabetic retinopathy, which may lead to vision loss if not detected and treated early.
Are LASIK and laser procedures safe?
Yes. Performed by trained specialists with advanced lasers, these procedures are safe and effective for correcting refractive errors.
How can I protect my eyesight?
Regular eye check-ups, UV protection, managing lifestyle diseases, a balanced diet, and avoiding eye strain help maintain good vision.
