Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it damages the optic nerve gradually, usually without symptoms in the early stages. By the time vision loss is noticed, the condition may already be advanced and irreversible.

As we age, our eyes undergo natural changes, some harmless, others more serious. For adults and seniors, conditions like cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and presbyopia are common. Many of these conditions develop silently and can cause permanent vision loss if left untreated.

Vision changes are a normal part of aging, but some changes signal underlying conditions that may threaten long-term sight. Adults over 40 are especially at risk of developing cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and presbyopia.

Eye health doesn’t always wait for your schedule. For adults managing busy routines or seniors with mobility challenges, travelling to a clinic for eye checks can be difficult. That’s where home eye screening services come in. Designed to be safe, reliable, and accessible, they allow you to have important vision checks carried out where you are most comfortable at home.
