Ordering glasses isn’t just about picking a frame; there is a science to perfecting your new specs! Did you know that we can customise your lenses based on exactly how the frame fits your face? 😎

Why do frame fit values matter? Well, every frame is different, and every face is different. If we can tell the lab exactly how far the lenses are from your eye, the fit angle and curve of the lenses - we can further customise your lens design. We have the tech to make this happen!

Let’s embrace modern dispensing together! Come in store and experience the difference in your next specs 👓

❄️Winter has well and truly arrived in Brisbane! As temperatures drop, it is important to ensure we are taking extra care of our eye health. The cooler winter air and indoor heating can be very dry and can cause irritation, stinging, redness, and sometimes excessive watering as your body tries to keep your eyes moist.
At East Vision Optometry, our optometrists can help you deal with your dry eyes. Here are a few helpful tips:
1. Soothe your eyes with warm compresses: placing a warm compress over your eyes every morning can help unclog the eyelid ducts to get tear production going and to help soothe irritation.
2. Eye drops: regular use of preservative-free eye drops can help relieve dry eye symptoms. Not all drops are made equal - come in to chat with one of our optometrists and we can recommend a drop that would best suit your eyes!
3. Use a humidifier: a humidifier adds moisture to the dry indoor air. Use one in the places that you spend most of your time, such as your workplace and bedroom.
4. For those crisp sunny days where you want to head outside and soak up the sunshine, don’t forget to protect your eyes with UV blocking sunglasses! Harmful ultraviolet rays can cause inflammation on the surface of your eyes and more irritation.
Give your eyes a little extra care this winter. Contact us on (07)3558 8818 or schedule an appointment online at www.eastvision.com.au to chat more!

Part 4: Digital Eye Strain. Ever wonder why your eyes feel so tired? Corrections for even minor prescription inaccuracies are much more common now given all the near tasks life throws at us these days 📱. Small prescriptions can cause your focusing muscles to work overtime. The right correction, combined with proper screen distance and regular breaks, helps reduce digital eye strain.

Part 3: Vision and Learning. Research shows that proper vision correction can significantly improve children's academic performance. When students can see clearly, they process visual information 20% faster and experience less visual fatigue during reading tasks. Early intervention makes a difference!

Part 2: You might “just be tired”, or your glasses may need an update? 👓
The symptoms of an outdated prescription aren't always obvious. Beyond blurry vision, you might experience subtle signs like:
• Increased squinting or fatigue while reading.
• Difficulty transitioning focus between near and far objects.
• Mild but persistent headaches after screen work.

Regular comprehensive eye exams help catch these changes before they impact your daily function.
