This week, we shine a light on diabetes and eye health for National Diabetes Week.

While diabetes is often associated with blood sugar management, it can also affect eye health. Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of several eye conditions that may affect vision over time.

Many diabetes-related eye conditions can develop gradually and without noticeable symptoms in their early stages.

Regular eye examinations are an important part of monitoring eye health and detecting changes over time.

This National Diabetes Week, take a moment to learn more about the connection between diabetes and eye health. If you have questions about your eye health or vision, speak with the team at Swan Hill and Kerang Optical.

The cold weather can sometimes make contact lenses feel less comfortable.

During winter, indoor heating, lower humidity levels and dry air can contribute to this leaving the eyes feeling dry, irritated or fatigued throughout the day.

A few simple habits can help support comfortable lens wear during the colder months:

• Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling lenses

• Keep lubricating eye drops nearby to help maintain moisture

•Prioritise using glasses when your eyes feel tired or dry

If your lenses become consistently uncomfortable or your eyes remain irritated, speak with us for personalised advice.
