A Clearer View

We will discuss what myopia (shortsightedness) is, what the risk factors are, and what the treatment options are. As part of this, we will explore some of the studies underway in the eye clinic and university. This will be an informative session to discuss children and teenagers eye development, and how certain lifestyles and the modern world can cause them to require some correction to see clearly for life. However myopia is not just something to correct with glasses/contact lenses, it comes with a greater risk of losing sight, and it is worth discussing this so people are aware.

Discover how engaging with the community can enhance awareness and encourage regular sight tests, crucial for early detection and treatment of eye conditions. This presentation will explore innovative strategies, including using community centres and places of worship for healthcare education. Don't miss this opportunity to learn and contribute to overcoming healthcare inequalities in eye health.
