Regular visits to your ophthalmologist could be the thin line between going blind or enjoying longer and healthier eyesight.
Karen Wanjiku, who works at the City Eye Hospital in Nyeri, says many Kenyans rarely visit health facilities to have their eyes checked, a situation that exposes them to visual challenges later in life.
Wanjiku says many people only opt to go to see a doctor when they realize they have difficulties with their eyesight and at times when the condition is beyond remedial.
She is therefore urging the public to make it a routine of having their eyesight checked regularly to avert possible future complications that may irredeemably impair their eyesight. "Many eye problems can be managed and prevented when detected at an early stage.
