Most health funds reset at the start of the year. So now is a great time to utilise your benefits. Remember you can use your optical extras for glasses, prescription sunglasses and contact lenses, and even some repairs!

Will you be reading a lot this Christmas (Checking things twice?)? Screen based and extended reading can be especially hard on our eyes. If you have tired or irritated eyes, blurred vision or even neck pain, you may be experiencing eye strain.

Modern reading lenses have come a long way from basic magnifiers. New lens designs have options such as blue filters, an extra power boost in the lower section and advanced enhancement technology to increase contrast and definition. So, if you need to modernize your reading glasses, book an appointment so our optometrists can determine which lenses are perfect for you.

Cataracts are an age-related change, where the lens becomes cloudy. A Christmas Tree Cataract is a fairly rare variation, where the lens proteins crystallize and form striking colourful needles that make pretty reflections on examination. They can sometimes form for no known reason or can be related to myotonic dystrophy (Which can cause muscle weakness) Photo credit: American Academy of Ophthalmology

Have you ever wondered how others see the world? It’s hard to simulate because there are so many variations and degrees of vision types – but this might give you an idea of what it’s like. The first flower is normal vision. Top right is blur like a short sighted (myopic) person would see – it’s blurry the same in all directions. Lower left is what a person with astigmatism sees – the image is more blurry in one direction and lower right image simulates a combination – which might be blurry and distorted. Thank goodness for modern optometry! We can correct all of these with glasses or contact lenses. It’s also amazing how often people don’t realise that they are not seeing as well as they should. Things often change slowly, or you might just think things are normal if you’ve never had good vision to compare it too. Another reason why regular eye examinations are so important.
