November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month!

Diabetic retinopathy occurs in people with diabetes when there is damage to the retina, the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye.

In some people with diabetic retinopathy, blood vessels may swell and leak fluid. In other people, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina.

If you have diabetic retinopathy, at first you may not notice changes to your vision, but over time diabetic retinopathy can get worse and cause vision loss. It usually affects both eyes.

Helping slow childhood short-sightedness 🫶

Myopia is becoming increasingly common in children, but early intervention can make a real difference.

We offer personalised myopia management options to help protect your child's vision for the future.

Myopia, or shortsightedness, is a condition where only close objects can be seen clearly. People who have myopia need glasses or contact lenses in order to see distant objects well. In New Zealand, 30% of adults have myopia and it is becoming more common in children, particularly those whose parents...

Weekly floof from our mates at Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dogs 🐕🦺 !

It's Floof o'clock! Time to grab a coffee and take in the highlights of the week for our Blind Low Vision doggos. There's a bit of a re-tail (wag,wag) theme this week with a few of our pawsome pooches hoping to purchase some prime product. Scroll on.

1️⃣ Yellow Lab Bingo is a practical pup who likes top browse the aisles at Mitre 10.
2️⃣ Fellow yellow lab Brian however, has opted to stay at home for some shuteye.
3️⃣ Meanwhile, back at Mitre 10, yellow Lab Donna is a bit over Brian's DIY obsession and is taking a little break. She calls it "Me time."
4️⃣ Yellow Lab Max has decided to step out into nature and take some time to look fabulous amongst the daisies.
5️⃣ Break time over, it's time for play as Max hit in the enrichment run, an adventure playground for Blind Low Vision Guide Dogs in training.
6️⃣ Max has found one of his favourite toys, a chew rope. It seems he believes in a high fibre diet.
7️⃣ Black Lab Munroe, however, prefers just chill out on the nearest human leg.
8️⃣ Well rested, Munroe is off to the nearest grassy spot to meet up with black Lab bestie, Murphy. So alike, even they can't tell one from the other.
9️⃣ Snuggly black Lab Sadie opts for some TLC from one of her besties, Dog Care Specialist Naomi.
🔟 It's back to the shops as Walter the yellow Lab plots to liberate a cage full of soft toys.
