The only thing worse than running out of contact lenses?

Not being able to reorder them immediately.

(OK, having to wear glasses that don’t accentuate your stunning good looks is a close second.)

But as of today, you can order your contact lenses directly from the EyeSense Vision website.

At any time and any place.

So, you can do it from the comfort of your couch. 🛋

Or on the train on your way to work. 🚄

Or during your lunch break. 🍽

And they're delivered straight to your door.

No more phone calls. No more emails. No more explaining your prescription.

Just a few clicks and you're all set.

Go check it out for yourself.

This is why I never say no when my kids want to play outside:

Natural light is great for their eye health.

When your children play outside, sunlight stimulates dopamine production.

Dopamine is a powerful chemical messenger. It tells their eyes “not to grow too much”.

And this delays or even prevents myopia (aka short-sightedness).

In short it means your distance vision becomes blurry.

Myopia happens when your eyeball becomes too long.

Or if your cornea (the clear outer layer of the eye) becomes too curved.

Because of the change in shape, light that enters your eye falls in front of your retina rather than on your retina.

And that’s why objects at a distance are blurry.

So, do you want to protect your child’s vision? Start here:

💥 Limit their screen time as much as you can.
💥 Encourage them to play outside. The more, the better.
💥 Take them for an annual eye exam. Never skip this step.

Tag a parent who needs to read this.

And follow us for more information on your child’s visual health.

Happy Valentine's Day! 😍

Mine started with delicious coffee that just hit the spot.

Thanks Smidge Bakery in Leederville.

What was the perfect start to your Valentine's Day?

“York, here we come,” I said as I got in the car.

“York???” My husband looked confused. “Weren’t we picking sunflowers?”

“They didn’t survive the heat,” I said as I got Google maps up. “So, they cancelled the event.”

“And your backup plan is … York?”

Yep.

I wanted to keep to our 2026 resolution of exploring WA more. Time was running out and this was the best I could come up with. And it’s only 90 minutes away.

Just a reminder to all you parents out there: never, ever, EVER assume your children will sleep in the car because it’s naptime.

90 minutes feels a lot longer with a bored, overtired toddler in the backseat.

But when we arrived, we liked it more than we’d thought.

Down-to-earth locals.
Beautiful old buildings.
Quaint little houses.
And a vintage car museum our kids loved. It also boasts WA’s oldest car.

As we eventually sat down for lunch, I was filled with gratitude.

Owning my own practice means:
💢 Working more hours than ever before
💢 Going to bed later than I’d like

But it also means:
✅ I’m in charge of my schedule
✅ No more retail hours
✅ No more weekends
✅ No more public holidays spent in a testing room

Those days are reserved for my family.

Sure, York isn’t the most exciting day trip.

But it’s a town we explored together, for the first time.

That makes it worth it.

What WA town should we visit next?

Why you should 100% have your eyes checked every year…

It’s not just about making sure you have good sight.

OK, yes, that’s ONE of the reasons.

But as optometrists we do more than that.

Your eye health is another great reason for an annual eye exam.

And yes, that includes checking that your eyes are cancer-free.

Because there are 12+ different types of cancer you can get in or around your eye.

Your optometrist will be able to tell before you do.

Now, eye cancer isn’t the most common type of cancer.

But, like any cancer, early detection is key.

(And don’t think because you’re young you’re immune.)

So, pay your optometrist a visit this year. And every year after that.

In the meantime, be sure to slide on some sunnies.

Remember to spread the word on World Cancer Day.

Be safe.

Today is Liz and Steve’s last day as part of the EyeSense Vision team.

Not only were they outstanding optometrists, but they’ve also been my mentors since I joined the team in 2023. It’s a huge honour to take over the reins and build on the legacy they’ve created.

Thank you for the extraordinary value you’ve added to the practice over the years.

I wish you both a very happy retirement. Can’t wait to hear what you get up to in this next chapter of life.

You know it the moment you wake up…

Because the sunlight is too bright.

Because your partner’s lingering perfume is unbearable.

Because the dripping tap sounds like a sledgehammer in your ear.

Today is a migraine day.

Another workday you’ll miss.

Another catch-up with friends you have to cancel.

Another afternoon you won’t be able to play with your kids.

Migraines ruin the best days.

But understanding the cause is one step toward better migraine management.

And that’s where behavioural optometry comes in.

Here are 2 ways how we can help you:

🧐 First, let’s understand the cause.

Binocular vision dysfunction (or BVD) is often the cause of migraines.

You may not realise you have BVD because you can see clearly.

But BVD happens when your eyes and brain don’t work as a team.

If one eye is weaker than the other, your stronger eye and brain must work much harder to compensate.

Now your visual system is under a lot of strain.

So, you struggle to focus, you tire more easily, and your brain could even start to ignore your weaker eye.

(And it goes unnoticed because it happens gradually.)

But we can help your visual system to perform better through prism lenses and/or vision therapy.

💡 Next, let’s ease light sensitivity.

Even the dimmest light could cause severe discomfort when you’re suffering from migraines.

The correct colour tints on your lenses could help you manage your light sensitivity.

During your eye test, we’ll test different tints to find the one that feels most comfortable to you.

Migraines don’t have to control your life.

Book an eye test at EyeSense Vision, and let’s find you a tailored solution.

Many people don’t know this…

But you’re not born with visual skills. You develop them.

Depth perception, visual tracking, eye-hand coordination…

These are all examples of visual skills.

They’re crucial for learning, reading, and playing sports later in life.

Remember it’s your brain that controls visual skills, not your eyes. That’s why they need to be developed.

And you can already start developing visual tracking skills in the first few months with this easy game:

🧸 Use any soft toy.
(Bonus points if it’s black and white, since this is most stimulating to them at this age.)
🧸 Tie a bell to the soft toy.
🧸 Hold the toy about 30 cm above your newborn’s face.
🧸 Slowly move it from side to side while ringing the bell.

Play this game for 1 to 2 minutes at a time.

Jerky movements are normal at this age. It’ll smooth out as they get older.

And it’s progress over perfection.

Being a mum is stressful enough. The main focus is to bond with your newborn, not to pressure yourself.

Want to know if you have good depth perception?

Try this vision therapy exercise:

✅ Look at the image at arm’s length.
✅ Hold up your index finger midway between your eyes and phone.
✅ Focus on the top of your finger.
✅ While keeping your focus, pay attention to the image.
✅ Adjust your finger’s position until you see a third image.
✅ Now, shift your focus to the third image.
✅ Move your phone around but try to hold the image.

Could you do it?

Here’s why this exercise is important:

Your eyes send two slightly different images to your brain.

Your brain fuses the images so you can experience the world in 3D.

Depth perception affects everyday activities like:
✨ Reading
✨ Driving
✨ Playing sports
✨ Learning in a classroom

And if you can’t see the 3D image, it could mean your brain:
✨ Suppresses one eye
✨ Switches between both eyes
✨ Relies on one eye more than the other

This could make everyday activities harder for you than they should be.

And many people (kids and adults alike) don’t even realise how much harder your brain works.

That’s where vision therapy comes in.

It’s a program designed for you to train your visual system to function optimally.

Are you able to see the 3D image?

😭 – No
