If you think you need may need A&E for a new onset eye complaint, don't forget you can be seen free of charge by your local Optician under the Primary Eye Care Acute Referral Scheme (PEARS) 👁 Please try keep our A&E free for serious and life-threatening conditions #eyes
👁️ Did you know your immune system can leave clues in your eyes? Inflammation seen during an eye exam can signal autoimmune conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis — sometimes before other symptoms appear. 💬 Eyes tell your health story — make sure you’re listening!
Ever seen a yellow ring in your eyes? It could be a sign of high cholesterol — something your optometrist can spot. 👁️ Eye exams aren’t just for vision — they can flag cardiovascular risks too! ❤️ Protect your heart by starting with your eyes
Did you Know? 🧠 Your eyes are a window to your brain. Changes in your optic nerve or visual field can indicate issues like multiple sclerosis, brain tumours, or even stroke. 💡 A simple eye exam can reveal complex neurological clues before you've even noticed yourself
Did you Know? High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) 👁️ Your eyes can show signs of high blood pressure before you feel any symptoms! Blood vessels at the back of the eye can become narrow or leaky, revealing early damage. 👉 Regular eye exams = early detection, better protection!
Start your working week putting your vision into focus 👓 Follow the 20-20-20 rule: 💡 Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds to try keep eye strain low 👁️
Vision feeling foggy? ☁️ Cataracts are not a film over the eye — they’re a clouding of your natural lens inside the eye It's one of the safest and most common surgeries in the world with over 95% success rates 👁️ See your optician about starting your journey to clearer vision
Did you know? Astigmatism isn’t an eye disease — it’s just an irregular curve of the cornea or lens 👁️ This is different to Amblyopia, which is often referred to as a 'Lazy Eye'. These are most common in children and can be corrected if treated early.
Don't forget to 💧 Blink often! 💧 Blinking spreads tears evenly across your eye — essential for comfort and clear vision. It also clears dust and debris away from the cornea.
Intravitreal injections deliver medication directly into the vitreous humour (the liquid inside the eye) to treat diseases affecting the retina and macula. They help reduce swelling, stop abnormal blood vessel growth, and prevent leakage or bleeding at the back of the eye. 💉👁️
🧬 Gene Therapy – The Future of Retinal Care? 👁️ Imagine a world where one injection could replace years of treatment… Researchers are trialling gene therapies which can deliver long-lasting anti-VEGF effects for wet AMD potentially reducing the need for injections. 🔬✨
Lest We Forget For all our staff and patients who are affiliated with our Armed Forces or Veterans themselves We Will Remember Them
Allied Health Professional injection services have expanded, with Clinical Specialist Nurses or Orthoptists delivering nearly 100% of our injections at CHFT. This means our Medics are better placed for clinical decision making and planning your care. 👁️👁️
Have you been told you may need an injection in your eye? 👁️ Over 750,000 Intra-Vitreal injections are performed annually across the UK, making it the most common outpatient procedure in ophthalmology 💉
Did You Know? 3.7 million people attended 9.8 million hospital outpatient appointments for their vision in England in 2024. 👁️👁️👁️ That’s a 23% increase over the last 10 years #Ophthalmology #EyeClinic #VisionMatters
Feeling poorly? Please DO NOT ATTEND your appointment in our hospital if you are currently unwell. Please reschedule via our appointment centre. 🔴 Stop the Spread ❌Norovirus ❌Flu ❌Coronavirus 💚Keep our staff and our other patients safe 💚 @CHFTNHS
Lets talk about organ donation 🧡 🌟 One cornea donation can restore sight for two people Register as an organ donor and help bring the gift of sight 👁️ Be a hero — register today organdonation.nhs.uk
👁🗨 Did you know? 👁🗨 Your retina’s blood vessels are unique — even more distinct than fingerprints 🔍 Each person’s retina is one-of-a-kind, which is why retinal scans can be used for biometric ID. 🤳 #EyeClinic #biometrics #Retina
