A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Auckland Annual Optometry Conference on Sunday 9th November.

We were honoured to celebrate a special 30th anniversary edition of our annual conference with a fantastic turn out of optometrists from across the country.

We were excited to welcome our international guest speaker, Dr Tanya Trinh, who delivered insightful presentations on ‘Keratoconus Care in Your Hands’ and ‘Social Media – Expert, Ethics and Excellence.’ Alongside our team of ophthalmologists who shared their expertise across a wide range of topics and panel discussions, contributing to a rich and engaging program.

This week marks the 50th Anniversary of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.
In celebration, we are proud to be displaying our te reo Māori logo across our social media and website and share the meaning and inspiration behind it. 💙

🔹 Te Karu Ora translates to "the eye(s) of life/health," and captures the essence of Eye Institute's mission to preserve and enhance visual health.

🔹 Kia hōmiro te titiro means "to have a clear vision or to be keen sighted." This phrase draws inspiration from the term "Kanohi hōmiromiro," signifying someone with a sharp eye for detail and excellent eyesight. It conveys the concept of sharp-sightedness, much like the observant hōmiromiro (tomtit) bird, renowned for its keen vision and watchful nature as it forages for food on the ground and tree trunks.

🔹 Together, these terms are translated as "the eyes of life - for the fruits of sight.

Helpful tips for combating dry eye:

🔹 Drink enough water! If your urine is the colour of apple juice, then you need to drink more water. Alcohol and caffeinated drinks do not necessarily count, as these can actually dehydrate rather than help with rehydration
🔹 Blink! This one may sound silly, but often when focusing on a screen or a task like reading, we unconsciously forget to blink. In fact, research suggests that we blink around 66% less per minute in front of screens. As blinking helps replenish the tear film over the eye, the result of not blinking sufficiently can lead to dry, burning, stinging eyes, or even watery eyes if the dryness leads to an overcompensation of tear production.
🔹 Be mindful of your environment: as temperatures starting to drop and heaters start to go on, dry eyes can start to surface. Be careful where the heater is directed when in the car i.e. not towards your face, and perhaps consider the use of lubricant drops at home.
🔹 Eating food groups rich in omega 3 oils: our tears are divided into three layers, once of which is a thin oily layer on top that prevents your tears from evaporating too quickly. Eating omega 3 rich foods can help improve the quality of the oily layer that our eyes produce, thereby helping to improve dry eye.
🔹 Being aware of the seasons: some seasons can bring hayfever, and with it ocular allergies. This can certainly exacerbate dry eyes, so it is important to keep on top of this.
