Celebrate World Optometry Week (22–28 March 2026) and World Optometry Day (23 March) with us. This year’s theme, “A Shared Vision: Collaboration in Global Eye Care,” highlights the vital role optometrists play in your primary healthcare.

What does your optometrist actually do?

1. Comprehensive Eye Exams: Checking more than just your vision.
2. Disease Diagnosis: Identifying ocular diseases like glaucoma and cataracts early.
3. Corrective Devices: Prescribing and fitting spectacles or contact lenses.
4. Co-Managed Care: Handling pre- and post-operative care for eye surgeries.
5. Patient Education: Helping you understand and protect your eye health.

Routine eye health exams can detect and treat most conditions before they become serious. Preserve your sight by visiting us at Baragwanath Medical Centre.
