October Focuses on eye care awareness and Signature Eyecare is very excited to launch the very first insight into your sight.

Comorbidity… Now there’s a word you don’t find yourself using everyday. What is it? Are you being affected by it? Comorbidity refers to having multiple medical conditions at the same time, especially when they affect each other in some way. These conditions can include diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, arthritis, thyroid and so forth. Apart from the specific effects on your health, they can also be a cause for concern with regards to one’s ocular health and vision correction.

Specific tests are essential in individuals with comorbidities.

Besides the standard eye test, an examination to rule out ocular pathology and an eye pressure test are amongst other tests that are essential in individuals with comorbidities.

A visit to your optometrist should not just be about an eye test and a new pair of spectacles. Comorbidities are among the many factors to consider before investing in your next new look.

Lifestyle, occupation, hobbies, daily habits and physical environment are also important aspects to consider before spectacles are dispensed. Optometrists have the clinical expertise to examine, diagnose and appropriately advise you of the best eye care for you.

Choose a better lifestyle. Eye care then eye wear. We share your vision for better sight.
