October is Eye Care Awareness Month
We heard from Dr Johann Slazus - An ophthalmologist at the Cape Eye Hospital to tell us more about eye
care. October is Eye Care Awareness Month. The purpose of this initiative is to
inform the public as to the ways and means of preserving eye health as well as
creating public awareness. The South African National Council for the Blind’s message
to all South Africans for Eye Care Awareness Month is: Get your eyes tested this month, wear sunglasses and
protect your eyes against injuries. 80% of blindness is avoidable, take the
necessary precautions and don’t become a statistic. For further information you
can contact the Cape Eye Hospital on (021) 948 8884 or visit
