Launceston Eye Doctors

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them 🕯️

Today is R U OK day 💛

By asking, “R U OK?” we not only show that we care, but we also create a safe space for individuals to share their feelings. R U OK? Day reminds us that we all have a role to play in supporting each other’s mental health. By asking the question and providing thoughtful follow-up, we can create a more compassionate and caring community where everyone feels valued and supported.

MAY is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

We look at how anxiety can affect people living with severe mental illness, what external factors can trigger this strong response, and what we can do to support our peers.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month -

Glaucoma is known as the ‘thief of vision’ since there are no warning signs. Glaucoma causes irreversible vision loss due to damage to the optic nerve.
