In this World Health Day episode of Retinal Realities, Retina South Africa explores how healthy lifestyle choices impact not only our overall wellbeing, but our eye health and vision too.

Host Karen is joined by Manny, Victoria, and Lindiwe from Retina South Africa to unpack:

• Why healthy living matters beyond New Year’s resolutions
• The growing impact of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke
• The five pillars of a healthy lifestyle, including nutrition, physical activity, tobacco control, responsible alcohol use, and safe behaviour
• Practical steps to support good eye health, from annual eye tests to nutrition and UV protection

This episode reminds us that every choice we make, every day, shapes our future health — including our sight.
