Stakeholders Integration workshop with the Resources for the Blind, Inc. Philippines and the National Committee for Sight Preservation first week of July.

SMOKING AND VA**NG CAN DAMAGE YOUR EYES

Smoking can damage important parts of your eyes such as the retina, lens and macula, which are necessary for maintaining clear eyesight and vision. This damage can make your vision cloudy, reduce your field of vision, or even cause blindness. Smoking increases your risk for cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, optic nerve problems, uveitis, and Graves’ disease.

On the other hand, a 2023 study published in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Ophthalmology showed that adolescents and young adults who smoked and vaped (dual users) were more likely to report vision problems including dryness, redness, pain, blurry vision, light sensitivity, and headaches. Eye symptoms were significantly worse among young people who reported using both ci******es and vapes than for those who said they used only one of the products, according to researchers.

Consult your ophthalmologist for more information.

So what stops you from supporting actions to ?

What is Dry Eye?

Our eyes are always shedding tears. These tears are not caused by sadness or pain, they are made to create a “tear film.” The tear film provides nutrients to the cornea (first layer of the eye), protects the eyes and gives them moisture that is needed for clear and healthy vision. The tear film is made up of three layers:

Fat-based oils
A watery fluid
Mucus

This combination normally keeps the surface of your eyes lubricated, smooth and clear. Problems with any of these layers can cause dry eyes. When this happens, blinking cannot create the moist “tear film” needed to protect and soothe the eye. The discomfort that results from dry eyes may affect how you see. In some cases, dry eye can decrease your vision. Proper care and treatment can help relieve your symptoms of dry eye."

Artificial tears na eye drops ang pinaka-common na gamot.

Understanding Dry Eye Problems with the three “tear film” layers of your eyes can cause dry eyes. Proper care and treatment can help relieve your symptoms of dry eye.

90% of vision loss is preventable or treatable.

The global cost of vision loss based on minimum wage was US$160 - US$216.32 billion or PhP701 billion for 2020.

The global cost of vision loss using GNI was US$449.36 - US$584.66 billion or PhP34 trillion.

Ano ang ?

Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses implanted in the eye during surgery.

Simpleng mensahe. 👇🏽

Usually, ito po ang Steps na sinusunod natin. Kung may nagbabago man, depende na lang sa sitwasyon. Kung sa palagay mo, may na-missed kang Step, magtanong lang po.
Dito sa ating Bacolod Vision and Hearing Center, every Wednesday po ng umaga ang ating screening.
