What is the best food for your eye health? Well, there is nothing your eyes like more that some good leafy greens, some oily fish (salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines, amongst others), nuts (such as almonds, cashews, pistachios) carrots (so you can see in the dark! :D ), citrus fruit and blueberries. These foods all contain the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants your eyes need to get on in life. Eat these regularly and your eyes will love you forever.

It's Friday 13th! Again! Didn't we do this last month?
The fear of Friday 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia (I'll be saving that one for the next Scrabble game.). While the number 13 has been considered unlucky for centuries, with several tales from several cultures explaining it, Friday 13th itself only seems to be considered unlucky since the mid 19th Century.
Some other countries don't consider Friday 13th unlucky but do consider similar dates something to be wary of. Greece & Hispanic countries consider Tuesday 13th to be the unlucky day, whereas in Italy it is Friday 17th that is the unlucky day. China considers the 4th day of the 4th month to be especially unlucky, because the Chinese word for 'four' sounds very much like 'death'.
We hope your Friday 13th is without bad luck and you have a good day.

Progressive diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy usually start off slowly and sneakily. At first you don't even know they're there. By the time you realise something is wrong, irreversible damage has already been done. Having a comprehensive eye examination at least every 2 years will show signs of any of these conditions before you notice any symptoms. That means management can start immediately, and the degenerative effects of those diseases can be minimised, if not halted.
So, the time to make your appointment was yesterday. Failing that, make it today. You can ring us on 62729407, come into our office at 368 Main Road, Glenorchy or book online at https://glenorchyeyecare.com.au/ We are waiting to hear from you.

Fitover sunglasses are designed to do exactly what it says on the box: fit over your normal prescription glasses. They come in 25 different styles and sizes, all of which come in multiple colours, so there is certainly something out there that will suit you. The majority have tinted side shields, so there is no problem of blocked vision when you are driving, and they have a slight brim to the brow bar (at the top of the lenses) which blocks light coming in from above. They are made of light-weight plastic and are available with grey or brown polarised lenses. They can also be worn as a normal pair of sunglasses, without prescription glasses underneath, if you wish. Truly versatile!
We have a small selection in our office, and we can show you catalogues online for you to see further options. Come into 368 Main Road, Glenorchy between 9am & 5.30pm to view and peruse. We will happily show them all to you.

Meet Lily, our newest staff member. She is an 8 week old cavoodle (cavalier/poodle) and she has been keeping us company the last few days. Sadly, she will not be a permanent fixture, probably because our productivity has gone done by at least 90% in the last few days. We will just enjoy her whilst we can.

Which sort of adjuster are you? I never knew till today that I am a Sassy adjuster. Who would have thought?

Some women who have a small build and small faces can find it difficult to find small enough frames to suit them. Fortunately, there are several brands who specialise in producing smaller frames. The first 3 pictures are from one of those brands; Nifties.
Another alternative is to try children's frames. We make sure we have some not-too-kiddy frames just in case all else fails, but when you can get gorgeous smaller frames like these, you'll never want to wear a child's frame again.
