OMIGOSH DAVID BECKHAM IS IN THE HOUSE!!
Ok, so it's a cardboard cut-out of him. Wearing David Beckham Eyewear. But David is here, he's smouldering and it is simply amazing.

The collection is seriously sleek and cool.. but don't take our word for it, have a look below! After that, surely you can't tell us that you don't want a pair for your man (or yourself)??

A P P R E C I A T I O N P O S T

It has been a hectic few days since returning to full scope services... Lots to do, plenty of emails, calls and many conversations about eyes, fashion and all things optical!

I wanted to take this opportunity to say the BIGGEST THANK YOU to all our patients, local communities, fellow local businesses, suppliers and friends that have continued to support our little businesses through this pandemic - all the wonderful people that have come to visit us and did the the right thing time and time again (disinfect hands, socially distanced, wore a mask)... I know it goes without saying but it is a wonderful place to interact and work knowing that the basics are taken care of without having to battle someone about it and why it needs to be done.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to our wonderful patients and suppliers that have been so patient with us at times when things were a little busier than usual, and thank you to everyone that have said the kindest things about us, referred a friend / parent / partner / colleague / classmate / neighbour to us because of the positive experience they have had with us. I know I don't say it enough but it absolutely means the world to me and my entire team that this small gesture has kept us going through the tough times and has allowed us to assist people even in the smallest way.

Last but not least, a big thank you to my team both in Swan St and Dingley - WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU???
Thank you for banding together with me, getting on with it when the going got tough, being nimble with me and keeping the patient always priority #1. Thank you for making my job easy to do and for that I am extremely grateful to each and every one of you.
As my sons always like to say to me - TEAMWORK makes the DREAM work!
Much love, Darran.

How do you avoid digital eye strain?

Did you know that taking a break from from your digital devices is a simple, quick and effective way to keep the eye strain at bay? Eye rest techniques are super easy and doesn't take too much time away from your busy day.

For every 20 minutes in front of a screen (computer, iPad, smartphone):
- look 20 metres away from your device (approximately 20 large adult steps)
- for 20 seconds and VOILA!

Changing your focus for short periods help relax your eyes and avoid eye strain caused from using digital devices. #interestingfact #hack #eyecaretips

Today is WORLD SIGHT DAY 2020! World Sight Day i

Today is WORLD SIGHT DAY 2020!

World Sight Day is an international day of awareness to focus attention on the global issue of eye health. Did you know that 75% of all blindness or moderate to severe vision impairments are avoidable?

Hence it is why it is so important to be visiting your optometrist regularly:
Ages 4 - 18 OR 40 and over = once a year;
Ages 18 - 40 = once every 2 years

Seeing your optometrist is about checking your vision, eye health and also preventative treatments such as slowing short-sightedness, slowing loss of peripheral or central vision, dry eye treatments and much more.

If you haven't seen an optometrist for more than 2 years, book now (link in bio) and have peace of mind that your eyes are well looked after for many years to come #hopeforsight

So, we have total #envy when a patient can pull off bright coloured frames. Please find Exhibit A above, that being our beautiful patient Mel, who selected these wonderful RED frames and OMG how gorgeous does she look in them???!!!!

As we all are in lockdown, Mel was just not having crisp vision that she is accustomed to after working on the computer all day. After a thorough eye examination, Mel was prescribed glasses with a blue light anti reflective coating. The outcome below:

Sharper vision when on the computer ✅
Sharper vision when using the iPhone ✅
Reduced eye fatigue ✅
Looking totally effortless in RED @faceaface_paris frames = PRICELESS 😍😍

We LOVE our work... and our work is done! Thank you Mel for your trust in us ❤️ #SupportLocal

Do your glasses fog up when wearing a mask? Do not

Do your glasses fog up when wearing a mask? Do not despair, what you need is the Progear ANTI-FOG GEL, one of the best anti-fog gels on the market and it’s available for purchase!

How to use it, you ask?
Apply a sesame seed sized drop of gel on both sides of your lens, gently wipe evenly with the micro fibre cloth provided until the lens is clear and voila! UP TO 24 HOURS OF FOG FREE VISION!

How does it work?
This thin gel is designed to minimise misting on the lens surface, creating fog free vision. Anti-fog properties were developed in the 1960s by @nasa to use on helmet visors and are still in use today with not only masks, but goggles, visors and gas masks too!

If you would like a bottle (or more!) DM / call or email us and we can pop it in the post for you 🤓😉

One of the biggest questions we get asked when hel

One of the biggest questions we get asked when helping our patients with sun protection is:

What is the difference between a Tinted Lens and a Polarised Lens?

Tinted Lenses offer 100% UV protection and darken what you are seeing, whereas Polarised Lenses not only offer UV protection, but also cut out any additional glare, further enhancing your vision.

So not only are your lenses darkened but you achieve better clarity to what you are seeing... cool right? 😎

As we are going into the sunnier months it is becoming more and more important to ensure your eyes are protected against the harsh sunrays and glare. Do wear your sunglasses when you're out and about.. your eyes will thank you for it!

Do you have a pair of frames that you just have an attachment to and just KNOW you look good in?

This is exactly what happened to @laineyfoster_.. we updated her lenses in her own frame and voila! she is wearing the glasses that she loves again! 😍😍

If you're vision is not as crisp or clear as it was before but just love your frames... Bring them in for us to refit with updated lenses.. easy!
We'll do a quick inspection of your frames to make sure that they can be refitted into 👌

Do give us a call to ask us more about it 📞📞

Let's talk UV protection!

Did you know that UV rays from the sun not only can damage your skin, but also the cornea and other parts of your eyes? UV exposure also contributes to the development of certain eye conditions such as certain types of cataracts, growths on the eye and even macular degeneration 🙀

UV protection isn't just for your sunglasses either... All of our multi coatings on your clear glasses include a UV filter, providing the wearer with protection from UV rays even on cloudy days #interestingfact #uvprotection #uvradiation

Have you met / spoken to this lovely & bubbly young lady?

If you have, you will know.. her upbeat tone is just infectious! We are happy to introduce our latest member to you: Sophie!
Sophie joined the team in January just before COVID19 hit and since then it's just been mayhem!

A super trooper and responsible for our snazzy social media posts, Sophie joins us after previously working at Sunglasses Hut, OPSM & Oscar Wylee - needless to say fashion is her passion! However, it is her desire to deepen her knowledge in Optics has brought her to us and we are pleased to have found this little gem!

In her spare time, Sophie is an aspiring designer, dabbling in designing her own line of bags, enjoys sewing and spends time with her kitten Dolly Purrton (love the name!)

When you call in next, do say a quick hello to Sophie 🤩 #welcometotheteam
