It's easy to get confused about the two, but understanding the difference is key to keeping your eyes healthy!

Vision is how well you can see. It's measured by things like a letter chart and whether you need glasses or contacts to see clearly.

Eye health is the physical condition of your eyes. This includes checking for diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, as well as making sure your eye muscles and optic nerve are functioning correctly.

Think of it this way: Having 20/20 vision means you have a great camera lens, but a comprehensive eye exam ensures the entire camera (including the film, shutter, and processor) is in great shape!

Regular eye exams with an optometrist check both your vision AND your eye health. Don't wait until you notice a problem. Book your annual check-up today!

"At a time where service seems to be a rare event it is so refreshing to have a local business person that consistently delivers to an incredibly high standard. Several years ago Devonport Opticians provided me with new spectacles. I have. To constantly remove them and as a consequence they get battered twisted and damaged. Peter has always been available to repair them promptly and efficiently. He never charges me for this service and does so with a smile. I cannot recommend his Optometry service highly enough. If you haven’t used his practice I suggest next time you need an optician give him a go you won’t be disappointed."

MYTH: If you can see clearly, you don’t need an eye exam.
TRUTH: Eye exams do so much more than check how well you see

They help detect early signs of:
- Glaucoma
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Macular degeneration..and more — often before symptoms appear.

Even if your vision seems fine, your eyes could be telling us a different story.

Regular eye exams = peace of mind

Book yours today, your future self will thank you!

𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀!

Sunglasses are more than just a fashion accessory, they play a crucial role in protecting our eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and other environmental factors.

Does it say they block 100 per cent of UVA and UVB rays? They need to block both UVA and UVB by 99 to 100 per cent.

It can also keep out sand and allergens, which can also be harmful to your eyes.

𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
Just because a lens is almost black doesn’t mean it is blocking UV light. Make sure the label indicates a UV block. Wearing dark sunglasses can actually be more harmful if it doesn’t have the proper UV blocking. That’s because our pupils control how much light gets into the eye, so if you’re wearing dark sunglasses, the pupil opens up to let in more light, which could allow those pesky UV rays in as well.

𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼.
If you’re wearing sunglasses, it’s a good idea to put them on the kids too. Protecting their eyes from sun damage at an early age helps improve their eye health and it’s a great habit to get into.

By prioritising eye protection and investing in high-quality sunglasses, we can enjoy clear vision, reduce the risk of eye damage, and maintain optimal eye health for years to come.

Our eyes change as we get older—that’s totally natural! But catching those changes early makes a huge difference. Many age-related eye conditions can be managed much more effectively if they're spotted early, so regular checkups are key!

Some Common Age-Related Vision Changes:
- Colours may not pop like they used to
- Eyes might feel dry or watery (less tear production)
- You may need brighter light to see clearly
- Reading up close becomes trickier (hello, reading glasses!)
- Glare from lights feels extra intense

While not all these changes can be reversed, the good news is that modern medicine and tech have made it easier than ever to treat or slow them down. And with more exciting advancements on the way, the future’s looking bright—literally!

So don’t skip those eye exams—your future self will thank you.

:𝗘𝘆𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 👀

Eyelid twitches are common and mostly not harmful, but they are often irritating or somewhat embarrassing. There are more fast-twitch muscle fibres in the eyelids than anywhere else in your body, and when your general health is not quite right, these muscle fibres will contract erratically, becoming noticeable. Most eyelid twitches come and go, but some can persist for weeks.

There are common causes that should be addressed first in order to relieve an eye twitch:
~ 𝗧𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: If you’re tired, give yourself a well-deserved break.
~ 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻: If you feel eye strain, you could have an underlying eye issue like farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism.
~ 𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝘆𝗲: If you have dry eyes you could have a tear film imbalance, a lid abnormality, a low-grade bacterial infection or if you wear contacts a deposit buildup.
~ 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲: If you drink a lot of coffee, try to reduce the amount you have each day.

If your eyelid twitch persists for more than a few days, book an appointment with your optometrist or give us a call to determine if there is an underlying cause.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? 😴

Waking up with blurry vision is a common experience and can be caused by several factors. Overnight, your eyes produce fewer tears, leading to dryness, which can temporarily blur your vision. Blurry vision upon waking can also be linked to dehydration, allergies, or underlying conditions like dry eye syndrome or low blood sugar levels. In some cases, it might be a sign of more serious issues such as high blood pressure or diabetes, which can affect eye health.

If the blurriness persists or worsens, consulting an eye doctor is essential.

Have you ever woken up with blurry vision? 🤔

The eyes have several natural protective features that help keep them safe from harm. Eyelashes and eyebrows act as barriers, preventing dust, debris, and sweat from entering the eyes, while the eyelids and blinking mechanism help keep them moist and shielded from bright light and irritants. The tear film plays a crucial role in maintaining eye health by providing hydration and containing enzymes that fight bacteria. Additionally, the cornea serves as a protective shield for the inner structures of the eye.

Prioritizing eye care through proper hygiene, hydration, and regular check-ups is essential for maintaining healthy vision.
