CLEAR TO CLOUDY As light enters the eye it passes through the lens reaching the retina which transmits visual signals to the brain via the optic nerve. A cataract develops when the proteins in the lens form clumps turning the lens from clear to cloudy and that prevents clear images being sent to the brain. It develops slowly, darkening with a yellow or brown tinge, worsening over time and gradually interfering with vision. Cataracts are common in older people but can occur in younger people.

HOW CATARACTS AFFECT VISION Initially cataracts have little effect on vision, but it increases as the cataract progresses. The most common symptom of cataracts is blurry or cloudy vision.

• Difficulty with night vision • Double vision • Increased sensitivity to glare and bright lights • Frequent changes to glasses or contact lens prescription • Halos surrounding lights • Faded colour vision or difficulty distinguishing certain colours.

Due to the cataract acting as a stronger lens near vision temporarily improves however it disappears as it worsens.

CAUSES OF CATARACTS • • •

Although it is not precisely understood why people develop cataracts, there are several underlying causes and risk factors.

• Aging is a known risk factor (family history can play a role) Certain medical conditions Exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun Long-term use of certain medications such as corticosteroids • Smoking Trauma to the eyes and previous eye injuries may contribute • • Excessive alcohol use

DIAGNOSING CATARACTS Cataracts are diagnosed with a comprehensive eye examination. Your optometrist will assess your visual acuity at various distances, examine your eyes using a slit lamp microscope, test the pressure within the eyes and dilate your pupils to enable him or her to have a clear view of the retina at the back of the eye. Other tests may include your perception of colours and sensitivity to glare.

TREATMENT OF CATARACTS As they progress, cataracts can interfere with daily activities and surgical removal is usually recommended. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. It is a common procedure, is generally safe and has a high success rate. Your optometrist will refer you to an ophthalmologist who will discuss the various surgical options available. After corrective surgery for cataracts, you may be surprised to see the world with all of its colours again.

ST FRANCIS BAY UPCOMING EVENTS CALENDAR We all know what a wonderful place St Francis Bay is, and that's why most of us moved here in the first place. Here in St Francis Bay, we like to keep busy, and some want to stay competitive in various endeavours.

There are many events, both sporting and cultural, on the horizon. Here is a trimmed list of some of the highlights coming our way

THE ANNUAL CHOKKA TRAIL RUN This will occur on Sunday, 7 Aug. 2022, starting and finishing at the Cape St Francis Resort host venue.

All the races (62km, 43km, 23km and 10km) will take place on Sunday, 7 Aug. Prize giving will be at 12h30 at the Cape St Francis Resort.

THE ANNUAL CALAMARI FESTIVAL The 2022 Calamari Festival, organised by St Francis Tourism, is scheduled for 23 / 24 Sept. 2022.

The festival complements the long-standing Calamari Golf and Bowls Classics. The main sponsor of the Calamari Festival is Kouga Municipality.

The weekend kicks off with the Calamari Tops Wine Festival on Friday, 23 Sept., from 16h00.

The main attraction of the festival is the Calamari Cook-Off. This year we plan to have at least 30 teams competing for the title of Calamari King/Queen.

ST FRANCIS MARKET The ever-popular St Francis Market will be open from 9am to 4pm on Saturday, 24 Sept.

NAUTICAL HALF MARATHON This year the Nautical Half will take place on 25 Sept. For those who want to get involved but feel a half marathon is too daunting, there will also be a 10km event. There will be cash prizes, a lucky draw, and other elements of fun and laughter.

CONCOURS SUR MESURE The inaugural event takes place from 27-30 October.

There is so much on offer here, including their flagship event, the Wine and Motor Show at St Francis College on Sat, 29 Oct.

PGA GOLF TOURNAMENT This year the PGA Tournament will take place at The Links from 30 Oct. to 6 Nov. We can expect another massive event, with The Links and our beautiful village being broadcast live on the local and international sports channels.

WINE ON WATER Then we have the Wine On Water 2023. The event will be held on 24 - 25 Feb. This event is worthy of an early mention because when the tickets go live, they will be sold out very quickly, and this event is one you don't want to miss.

EXPEDITION AFRICA In October 2023, the Cape St Francis Resort will host the massive Expedition Africa event. The Kouga Local Municipality and the Sarah Baartman Municipality will host the race. The venue will be the Cape St. Francis Resort.
