It's all about the sunglasses. You may think you don't need sunglasses when the sky is cloudy, but just as much UV light gets through as it does when it's sunny, so you need to protect your eyes as much on overcast days as bright sunny ones. And also remember, sunglasses can only protect what they cover. Make sure you get a pair of good fitting sunglasses with full protection. If you can see over, under or around the frame, that's where the UV rays will come from.

It was once thought by some people that wearing your glasses would "weaken" your eyes and that you would become dependent on them as you could on some drugs. Well, you certainly can become dependent upon them, but that's because the glasses correct your vision and you can now see properly. Any further "weakening" of your vision is not caused by your glasses, but by natural changes in your vision.

One of the important things to prepare our children for the new school year is a proper eye examination. Some learning challenges or classroom behavioural issues can actually be related to undiagnosed vision problems! We always have an influx of children needing eye tests a few weeks into the new term because teachers have noticed an issue or two, so beat the rush and get in early. We can make multiple appointments for families, so go online to https://glenorchyeyecare.com.au/ or call us on 62729407.

We've had a couple of sunny days, so let's call it summer. Because in summer, you need sunglasses. We have a great range of sunnies to suit you and you and you! Keep that glare away from your eyes and the delicate skin around your eyes. Skin cancers around your eyes make up to 5-10% of all skin cancers. It's not just your eyes you are protecting.
