Glaucoma is caused by excess pressure within the eye. Over time, this damages the optic nerve leading to sudden, and often irreversible damage. Because glaucoma can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, it is often known as the “silent thief of sight”. By the time changes in vision are noticed, significant damage may have already occurred.

🔹Diagnosis🔹
Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight, because almost none of it’s symptoms appear in the early stages. This means early detection by a medical professional is the best way to prevent glaucoma.

🔹Reducing pressure, stabilising symptoms🔹
Currently there is no cure for glaucoma. However, if it’s caught early, treatment can slow or prevent further loss of vision. Non-surgical treatments can involve eye drops, or non-invasive laser treatments. Surgery focuses on draining the pressure within the eye.

Regular eye examinations are one of the best ways to detect glaucoma early and protect your vision. Have your eyes checked regularly by an eye care professional.

🔹WHAT IS MACULAR DEGENERATION?🔹
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for detailed central vision. There are two types of AMD.

🔹DRY AMD🔹
The most common type, dry AMD usually progresses slowly and can cause blurred or distorted central vision.

🔹WET AMD🔹
Wet AMD is less common but more serious. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels around the macula leak or bleed, causing rapid vision changes and potentially severe vision loss if left untreated.

🔹WHAT CAN BE DONE?🔹
While treatment options for dry AMD remain limited, research is ongoing. Auckland Eye is currently recruiting for the i-SIGHT2 AMD Study, investigating whether microcurrent electrical stimulation could help improve vision and slow dry AMD progression.

Visual impairment can have a profound effect on quality of life, and mental health.
Several studies have found a strong link between the loss of vision and mental illness, such as depression or anxiety. In turn, these illnesses can affect one’s ability to seek out treatment for declining vision.

Globally, at least 2.2 billion people are living with a near or distance vision impairment. For at least 1 billion of these people, that vision loss could have been prevented, or is yet to be addressed.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment worldwide, yet around half of those who need cataract surgery do not receive it.

Blind Low Vision NZ supports people living with vision loss to live with greater independence and confidence.

Annual eye exams help protect both your vision and your overall eye health.

Many eye conditions develop slowly and without noticeable symptoms.

💠Why are annual eye exams important?💠
Regular check-ups allow changes to be identified early, when treatment is most effective.

💠What can annual eye exams detect?💠
A comprehensive eye exam can detect changes in vision and early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and dry eye. In some cases, eye exams may also reveal broader health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure.

Even if your vision feels fine, regular eye exams are essential. Booking an appointment with your optometrist helps maintain clear vision, supports long-term eye health, and gives you peace of mind.

👁️ Your floaters may not be as benign as you think.

As we age, the vitreous gel inside the eye can shrink and pull away from the retina, sometimes causing a retinal tear. If left untreated, this can progress to a retinal detachment and cause irreversible vision loss.

Sudden new floaters, flashes of light or changes in vision should be checked as soon as possible.

The sooner you’re seen, the better the outcome. If caught early as a retinal tear, it can often be treated before it progresses.
