Diabetes is the largest and fastest growing health issue we face in New Zealand, with over 250,000 New Zealanders already diagnosed. Diabetic retinopathy is the second most preventable cause of blindness in New Zealand, early detection is critical to manage and prevent sight-loss associated with diabetes. The good news is that early diabetic changes can be detected and monitored within the eye via retinal evaluation and imaging. Most at risk are people over 50, those who have a family history, and people of Maori, Pacific or Asian descent. If you are at risk, consult with your OPSM Optometrist about how UWDRS and OCT imaging can look deeper into diabetic retinopathy.

Macular degeneration is an age-related condition that causes vision impairment (even blindness). Changes in the tissue at the back of the eye can be detected by retinal evaluation and imaging. Those at greater risk of macular degeneration, including people over 50, smokers and those with a family history of macular degeneration. If you are at risk consult with your OPSM Optometrist about how DRS and OCT imaging can look deeper into macular degeneration.

Of those who have glaucoma, half of them remain undiagnosed. The condition gradually and painlessly deprives sufferers of their peripheral vision and progresses if left untreated. Once diagnosed, it can usually be treated with eye drops. Those at risk include people over 50, far or near-sighted, and people with a family history. Glaucoma can be detected by a pressure check, field of vision check and optic nerve evaluation. With additional OCT imaging and Visual Field Analysis completed on indication. Your OPSM Optometrist will screen for glaucoma and discuss any additional testing required.

Myopia, also known as 'short-sightedness', is a condition where distant objects appear blurry. Myopia is the leading cause of distance visual impairment globally and is expected to affect half of the world's population by 2050¹. Myopia is primarily caused by excessive eye growth during childhood², leading to vision that typically worsens every 6-12 months throughout adolescence. Myopia can increase the risk of eye diseases such as myopic maculopathy, retinal detachment, and cataracts later in life.

Myopia progresses fastest in children under 10, making early intervention crucial. Myopia management aims to slow this excessive growth, reducing the frequency of prescription changes in the short term and the risk of eye diseases in the long-term. We have a number of treatment options available including spectacle and/or contact lenses for myopia control.
