Hot Cares and The Dis-Chem Foundation gives the gift of sight

--:--
Shaun suffers from Keratoconus which is an eye condition in which your cornea — the clear, dome-shaped front of your eye — gets thinner and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape. A cone-shaped cornea causes blurred vision and may cause sensitivity to light and glare.
During a comprehensive eye exam on October 6, 2023, it was revealed that Shaun has less than 5% vision in his right eye and approximately 20% vision in his left eye. While a standard scleral lens and spectacle correction were able to improve his left eye vision to 50%, the right eye remains severely affected.
Dr Pieter Naudé an Optometrist and Director from Realvision Incorporating Spectacle Warehouse has advised that EyePrintPro scleral lenses offer a more immediate and effective solution for Shaun's visual impairment.
This is how Hot Cares and The Dis-Chem Foundation will be assisting.
