Where were Thao and Grant last week?

They were speakers at the Silmo Academy Congress. Joined by a stellar line of international speakers from the UK, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, China, New Zealand and Australia; from ophthalmology, optometry and opticianry, it was three days of education and sharing of ideas on a global scale.

It was a great way to bench mark eye care in Australia with other countries and gave Thao and Grant ideas to continue to deliver clinical excellence to the community. Silmo Paris

It’s school holidays so it’s a great opportunity to get out and about.

More kids are developing myopia and losing their far sight. Excessive screen use / time spent focussing up close is a risk factor.

Our advice? Off screens. Outside. Optometrist.

✅Limit screen time
✅Encourage sun safe outdoor play
✅Book regular eye checks

Let’s build healthy vision habits together!

Our optometrist Thao Hannaford is cutting her hair for Hair with Heart Variety - the Children's Charity Australia

This will be her last donation as her hair is starting to turn grey which makes it less ideal for it to be made into a wig for children. Please support her last cut.

Head to Thao’s donation page for updates.
