Did you know that May is Healthy Vision Month? In the Canadian Ophthalmological Society post below, you can find out about each of the top five serious eye health concerns in Canada and explore their causes, risk factors, and how they’re diagnosed and treated. You can also check your ‘EyeQ’ by taking a quiz (https://www.seethepossibilities.ca/big-five-quiz/) to see how much you already know and watch videos to learn even more.
May is Healthy Vision Month—a time to pause and reflect on the well-being of our eyes. In the midst of our busy lives, it's easy to overlook the significance of eye care. But we want to change that narrative.
seethepossibilities.ca is a resource hub designed to empower and inform. Here, you'll find insights on common eye conditions and hear from experts in our Ask the Expert series on topics such as AMD, Children's Eye Health, Glaucoma and more.
Through patient stories, seethepossibilities.ca provides a glimpse into the real-life experiences of those living with eye conditions and their eye health experiences. Here, you can meet Erika, who wore glasses from 10 months old, had hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye conditions; read about her journey to healthy vision. And you can also listen to Robert share what it was like to lose his sight and get it back thanks to a corneal transplant.
Let's make a conscious effort this month to prioritize our vision. Take a moment to explore seethepossibilities.ca and encourage patients, colleagues, friends and family to have meaningful conversations about eye health.
Together, let's raise awareness and foster a community of support and understanding.
