Have you heard of AMD? It affects around 1 in 7 people aged over 50 years. Age and family history are the strongest risk factors, so it's important to share information about your eye health with your relatives. Book an eye check today and talk to your provider about SightScore AMD testing to learn your genetic risk for AMD.

Some people have questions about how SightScore glaucoma polygenic risk score testing can support their glaucoma care and when to start testing. Here, we describe some of the more common reasons people have SightScore testing and how it can impact their glaucoma care. The most important thing for your glaucoma care is to have regular appointments with your eye care provider. Talk to them today about whether SightScore might support your glaucoma screening and management.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. About 1 in 200 people have glaucoma by age 40, increasing to 1 in 8 by age 80.

The difficult part? Most won't know until vision is already affected. No pain, no obvious warning signs in the early stages.

That's why understanding your personal genetic risk matters. SightScore™ Glaucoma uses millions of genetic variants to estimate your individual risk, helping you and your eye doctor plan proactive care.

You can't change your genes. But you can change what you do with that knowledge. 💙

Today is International Deafblind Awareness Day!

Last year, the UN appointed 27th June Deafblind Awareness Day, in honour of Hellen Keller, who was born on this day in 1880. Hellen Keller was on the forefront of deafblind advocacy, and was a living example of how much people who are deafblind are capable of when we invest in accessibility and giving people the right tools.

Today we would like to take a moment to highlight the importance of Braille. The written word is invaluable. Audiobooks and screen readers are wonderful tools, but not everyone is able to hear them. Even if you can hear, Braille allows you to read in noisy environments, like a menu in a busy restaurant, or find out information without disrupting the people around you, like reading the numbers in a lift to find the right floor. Braille also allows you to check your spelling where a screen reader might stumble.

At Blind Low Vision NZ we are committed to the ongoing promotion of Braille. We give our members Braille lessons, convert texts into Braille, and provide Braille paper to our members for their own use.

[Image description] A close-up shows fingertips gently moving across a sheet of Braille. In the top left corner, a bright yellow box contains bold black text that reads: “Happy World Deafblind Awareness Day!” Small orange decorative lines surround the box.

So, you've got your results. Now what? 👀

Getting your glaucoma risk result is one thing. Deciding whether to tell your kids, siblings, or parents is another. 💬

Here's why it matters: 1 in 4 first-degree relatives of someone with glaucoma will develop the condition during their lifetime. Sharing what you've learned could be one of the most important eye health conversations your family ever has.

It doesn't have to be a big conversation. It can be as simple as:

"I just found out more about my glaucoma risk. It might be worth getting your eyes checked too."

A simple conversation today could help protect your loved ones' sight tomorrow. 💙

Your risk. Your roadmap.
If a parent or sibling has glaucoma, your risk is significantly higher than someone without that family history. This is meant to scare you, but to empower you. 💙
Knowing your risk means you can work with your eye doctor to create a unique plan for YOU. Earlier check-ups. Better decisions. Peace of mind.
SightScore™ helps by using your DNA to create a personalized picture of your genetic risk. Knowing empowers your decisons.

"I wish I knew sooner" is one of the most common things we hear after people are diagnosed.
Earlier knowledge doesn't always changes the outcome, but because it changes what you can DO. Earlier monitoring. More frequent check-ups during the years that matter most and a care plan built around your personal risk rather than the 'average' patient. Vision lost to glaucoma can't be restored. But vision that hasn't been lost yet? That's worth protecting.
Book a glaucoma check and talk to your eye doctor about how SightScore can help you work together to come up with a personalised screening plan to help guide your glaucoma screening timing and frequency.

Here's something that might surprise you: glaucoma affects over 80 million people worldwide and up to half don't know they have it.

It's often called the 'silent thief of sight' because it quietly steals your peripheral vision before you notice anything is wrong.

The good news? The earlier you're aware of your risk, the more you and your eye doctor can do about it. Have regular eye checks and consider SightScore testing to help support you and your eye doctor guide your screening.
