The team at Options Optometrists Karrinyup is proud to highlight the meaningful impact of their free 30-second vision screening service, which recently played a critical role in saving a patient’s sight.
A local gentleman in his 40s, with no history of eye problems, stopped by the Karrinyup branch for a quick screening on a whim. The screening revealed alarmingly high eye pressure, prompting the team to recommend a full consultation. This led to an urgent referral to an ophthalmologist, where a diagnosis of glaucoma was confirmed.
Thanks to the quick and accessible screening process, the patient was able to begin treatment early, significantly reducing the risk of irreversible vision loss.
This case underscores the importance of regular eye health checks, even for those without symptoms or a history of eye conditions. Options Optometrists Karrinyup remains committed to providing proactive, community-focused care through services like free vision and pressure testing.
