Eye Health Information

If you have 6/6 vision or are not currently experiencing degrading vision loss, eye health is an important consideration to reduce the risk of vision loss later in life.
 
Regular eye examinations with an Optometrist are the best way to prevent vision loss, allowing the early detection (and treatment if application) of eye disease.
 
As part of Guide Dogs Victoria’s commitment to educate the community on vision loss and eye health, we are working to produce a page of tips and guidelines for eye care. These are currently in development and will be added to the web site soon.
 
Thank you for your patience.
