Early Eye Check-ups Today Can Protect Your Child’s Vision for Life
A child’s early years are critical, not just for learning and growth, but also for visual development. Many eye problems begin silently in preschool years, often without obvious symptoms. By the time a child complains of poor vision, irreversible damage may already have occurred. This is why preschool eye screening plays a vital role in safeguarding a child’s visual, cognitive, and academic future.
LASIK surgery has helped millions of people around the world achieve clear, spectacle-free vision. It is one of the most popular laser vision correction procedures because it is fast, safe, and highly accurate.

If you're considering LASIK, understanding the eligibility criteria will help you make an informed and confident decision.
Festivals like Diwali, Christmas, and New Year fill our homes with lights, colors, and joy. But amidst the sparkle and celebration, our eyes are exposed to smoke, dust, chemicals, and excessive screen glare, all of which can lead to eye irritation, dryness, or even serious injuries.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. For decades, cataract surgery has been performed using ultrasound (phacoemulsification), where the cloudy lens is broken down and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). But recent advances have introduced a more precise and technology-driven alternative: laser cataract surgery, also called robotic cataract surgery.
Eye drops are one of the most prescribed treatments for conditions like dry eyes, allergies, infections, and glaucoma. But did you know that how you use eye drops can directly affect their effectiveness? A small mistake—like missing the eye, blinking too soon, or using expired drops—can reduce results and even cause discomfort.
When we think about our children’s health, we often focus on nutrition, physical activity, or vaccinations. But one aspect that is just as important—and often overlooked—is eye health. Clear vision plays a vital role in a child’s learning, development, and overall quality of life. That is why August is recognised as Children’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month, a reminder for parents, teachers, and caregivers to pay attention to the eye care needs of young ones.
