See clearly check yearly 💯💃

Parents will spend ₦100,000 on school fees.

₦50,000 on clothes.

₦30,000 on birthday parties.

But won't spend money to find out if their child can actually see the board.

Priorities.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

The scariest eye disease is not the one that hurts.

It's the one that steals vision quietly.

That's why glaucoma is called the silent thief of sight.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

If one eye suddenly becomes blurry…

That is not the time for:
“Let me sleep first” 😭

Please check it immediately 👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

If your screen time is 12 hours daily...

You should not be surprised when your eyes start complaining.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Many parents know their child's favorite footballer.

But don't know whether their child can see the classroom board.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Most people don't have "bad luck."
They have bad health habits.
Including ignoring their eyes for years.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Unpopular opinion:

If you spend ₦500,000 on a phone but won't spend money checking your eyes...

Your priorities are broken.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

You spend money maintaining your car.

You spend money maintaining your phone.

You spend money maintaining your home.

Remember to maintain your eyes too 👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

One eye examination can detect:

✓ Glaucoma
✓ Diabetic eye disease
✓ High blood pressure signs
✓ Cataracts
✓ Vision problems
👁️

Sometimes the most important appointment is the one you keep postponing.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Some habits build vision.

Some habits destroy it.

Choose carefully.

Your eyes are keeping score 👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Some of you think your eyes are fine…

Until you cover one eye and realize the other one has been struggling alone 😭👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

One of the scariest eye problems is glaucoma.

Because it can steal your vision slowly…

Without pain.
Without warning.

Many people only notice when the damage is already serious 👁️

The scary part?
Lost vision from glaucoma cannot be reversed.

Regular eye tests can detect it.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

High blood pressure can damage the tiny blood vessels in your eyes 👁️

So yes…

Your eyes can literally show signs of problems happening inside your body 😭

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

A child struggling in school is not always lazy.

Sometimes they genuinely cannot see the board 👁️

One eye test can change everything.

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Using your phone all night in darkness may not blind you immediately…

But eye strain, headaches and poor visual habits build up over time 😭👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Some damage in eye care is preventable.

But only if you stop ignoring the signs early 👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

You service your car regularly.

But some of you have never serviced your eyes 😭👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

The eyes compensate quietly.

That’s why many people don’t realize one eye is weaker until it becomes obvious 👁️

[Dr. Tabitha-Praise Ozioma (O.D) @deetechdoctor]

Goodnight Fam! 😘
