🌟 March is Glaucoma Awareness Month! 🌟

Did you know that glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in Aotearoa NZ?

Glaucoma is a complicated disease which refers to a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often without any early symptoms. If it’s not treated, glaucoma will lead to irreversible sight loss and even blindness. That’s why regular eye tests are so crucial! 🕶️✨

Don’t wait until it’s too late—make sure to schedule your eye test today at matthews.co.nz. Early detection can save your sight! Let’s spread the word and keep our eyes healthy together. 👁️💚

Visit glaucoma.org.nz for more information and support.

[SCHOOL HOLIDAY UPDATE] How can you promote clear & comfortable vision in our children?

As parents, we can do many things to promote clear and comfortable vision and healthy eyes. Our Clinical Manager, Adele Jefferies, recently published the article “Bright Eyes: Bright Eyes: Healthy Eyes for a Better Future” in Tots to Teens which gives lots of practical advice.

The school holidays can provide a convenient opportunity to prioritise your child's eye health by booking an eye exam. With fewer academic commitments and more free time is it time to book that appointment?

Is an eye exam on your back-to-school list? Optometrist Adele Jefferies explains how your child’s eye health contributes to a brighter future.

As we aim to give all myopes an individualised plan we have the widest range of myopia management options available, including OrthoK and multiple spectacle lens designs. We’re pleased to let you know we have two new additions to our options for myopia management, including Johnson & Johnson Abiliti Contact Lens and EyeRising Red Light Therapy.

[SCHOOL HOLIDAY UPDATE] School holidays can be a perfect time to take a moment and consider your children's eyes. Good vision is crucial for their learning, development, and overall well-being. With the increased use of screens in today's digital age, ensuring our kids' eyes are well taken care of is more important than ever.

We've got some new ranges and innovations, especially for our smallest patients... #1 Introducing Theo Kids.

We pride ourselves in source frames that look great and fit little faces well. Correct fitting, comfortable eyewear goes a long way toward improving vision and also making it easier to wear eyewear. The newest range we’ve added is Theo. Theo has been creating eyewear in Belgium since 1987, and they’re renowned for their colour.
