 WORLD SIGHT DAY: DR MOUKA HAILS SOLUDO, OBIDIKE FOR FREE CATARACT SURGERY, ADVOCATES LIFELONG EYE CARE


By MaryAnn Chukwuma.


An eye-care specialist, Dr. Ijeoma Agatha Mouka, has commended Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo and Commissioner for Health, Dr. Afam Obidike, for the state’s free cataract surgery intervention.


Muoka, Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry equally described the intervention as timely and apt noting that cataract remains one of the leading causes of blindness, while modern surgery has become faster and less burdensome for patients.


The eye specialist, who retired after 35 years in public service, said she was particularly pleased that the government had prioritised providing free cataract surgery for residents.


She encouraged well-meaning Anambra residents and organisations to support similar initiatives, saying sustained interventions could help extend eye-care services to communities across the state.


Speaking on this year’s theme, “Prioritising Eye Health Across Every Stage of Life,” Dr. Mouka urged residents to make eye care a lifelong priority through regular examinations and early detection.


She noted that people with family histories of cataract, glaucoma and other hereditary eye conditions should undergo regular eye checks, stressing that early detection could help prevent avoidable blindness.


Dr. Mouka also advised residents to protect their eyes from prolonged exposure to digital devices, maintain healthy lifestyles, get adequate sleep, drink sufficient water, and avoid excessive usage of tobacco and alcohol.


She urged Anambra residents to take eye-health warnings seriously, stressing that protecting ones sight requires conscious preventive measures and timely professional care at every stage of life.


The Medical Director, then concluded by warning against self medication no matter how casual the symptom may appear because of the sensitivity of the eye bearing in mind that ones sight is the light to their world.
