We often think about sunscreen for our skin, but what about eye protection? Just like skin, your eyes can be affected by UV exposure - especially if you’re outdoors regularly.

At Buck & Todd Optometrist, we can help you understand your UV risk and explore comfortable, stylish options to help reduce exposure and protect your vision long-term.

Come in and have a chat - your eyes will thank you!

💜 Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Awareness Week 💜

This week, we’re raising awareness about Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) — a potentially serious eye condition that can affect babies born prematurely.

ROP occurs when the blood vessels in a baby’s retina develop abnormally, and early detection is essential to help protect lifelong vision.

👶 Babies born early or with very low birth weight may require specialised eye screening in the first weeks of life.

✨ Early monitoring and timely treatment can make a life-changing difference.

At Buck & Todd Optometrists, we support families and the wider healthcare community by promoting awareness of infant eye health and the importance of early vision care.

📍 If you have concerns or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Key facts your optometrist wishes you knew: Screen Time.

Children’s eyes are still developing, and excessive screen time may affect comfort and concentration.

For healthy eye growth, experts recommend no more than 1 hour per day for ages 2–5, and regular breaks for school-aged children.

Healthy habits today support strong vision for the future.

👁️ Age-Related Macular Degeneration Awareness Month 👁️

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss, affecting the central vision needed for reading, driving, and recognising faces.

Early detection is essential. Regular comprehensive eye examinations can help identify changes to the macula before noticeable vision loss occurs.

You may be at higher risk if you:
✔️ Are over 50
✔️ Have a family history of AMD
✔️ Smoke or have smoked
✔️ Have cardiovascular risk factors

If you have concerns about your vision or are due for an eye examination, our optometrists are here to help.

You know you had an awesome childhood when you grew up with a sentient little car that didn’t say a word… but still had more personality than half the people you went to school with. 😭

That cheeky brrrm brrrm, the tiny headlights “looking” around like he was up to something, and the way he’d just roll off on an adventure like “don’t worry mate, I’ve got errands.”

And the human characters acting like it’s totally normal to have a self-driving nugget car pulling up to the shops.

Anyone else remember this being the ultimate after-school comfort show? Or was it just me and the other kids who loved weirdly wholesome TV? 👇
