Stumbled across some old, unused glasses? Maybe you've collected them over the years and don't want to throw them away... Did you know that you can recycle them instead!
We've been partnered with The Lions Club Australia for many years with their "Recycle for sight" Program, and last year we were the 2nd highest contributor of recycled specs for the program in Australia, all thanks to our community!
Over the 26 years that the Australian program has operated, there has been over 7 million pairs of refurbished quality specs sent out to men, women and children in need across the globe.

So, next time you're doing a clean out - save those unused specs and drop them in!

Childhood myopia isn’t just about needing glasses, it’s about how quickly vision can change if the risk factors stack up ⬇

Here’s what can speed up the progression:
• 📱 Too much near work - Long hours on screens, reading, or tablets without breaks. Holding books or screens too close can add extra stress to focusing systems.

• 🌤️ Not enough outdoor time
Natural light plays a protective role. Kids who spend less time outside are at higher risk of faster progression.

• 🧬 Genetics
If one or both parents are myopic, the likelihood and potential speed of progression increases.

• ⏳ Lack of visual breaks
Continuous near focus without pauses doesn’t give the eyes a chance to relax.

The good news? Small daily habits can make a big difference:
✔️ Encourage outdoor play
✔️ Follow the 20-20-20 rule
✔️ Keep screens at a comfortable distance
✔️ Schedule regular eye checks

Early awareness = better long-term vision outcomes ✨
