Cataract Awareness for Filipinos

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss among Filipinos—but they are treatable.

A cataract happens when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Early detection helps protect your sight and maintain quality of life.

📌 If you or a loved one notices changes in vision, don’t ignore the signs.

Book your eye exam today.

Q: How do I know if my sunglasses offer true UV protection?

A: Check for labels that say “100% UV protection” or “UV400.” These block both UVA and UVB rays. Lens color or darkness doesn’t indicate protection, so don’t be fooled by darker shades. You can also have your sunglasses tested at optical shops using a UV meter.

Q: Why does sweat sting my eyes and how can I avoid it?

A: Sweat contains salt and other minerals that can irritate your eyes and blur your vision. To prevent this, wear a headband, cap, or sports sunglasses that help wick sweat away. If sweat gets in your eyes, rinse gently with clean water or lubricating drops.
