In this World Retina Day special edition of the Retinal Realities Podcast, we are honoured to have Claudette, Victoria, and Lindiwe, our dedicated patient advocates.

This year’s theme is “Love Your Eyes - Kids: Focusing on Children,” and it’s a call to action we cannot ignore.

At Retina South Africa, we’ve observed some concerning trends affecting children’s eye health that could have lasting impacts on their futures. With the explosion of screen time from devices like smartphones, tablets, and computers, the benefits of technology are clear, but so are the risks.

Tune in as we explore these vital topics and offer actionable advice to safeguard our children’s vision. Your involvement can significantly impact the eye health of future generations. Don’t miss out!

Thank you to Roche Products (Pty) Ltd for sponsoring this wonderful series of Retinal Realities podcasts.
