Hey, Eyes Alive Family!

👁️ Caring for Your Eye Prosthesis – Key Points
✔️ If your eye was surgically removed, you may sleep with your prosthesis in (unless your lids don’t close fully).
✔️ If you wear a scleral shell, it must be removed at night.
✔️ Prosthetic eyes can be stored dry overnight.
✔️ Clean using approved products (e.g. Boston Cleaner / Boston Simplus).
🚫 Please don’t:
❌ Use harsh chemicals
❌ Pour boiling water over your eye
❌ Try to polish it yourself (including rubbing on clothing)
👉 Professional polishing is needed once a year.
________________________________________
💧 Dry Eyes / Discharge
Dry eye is common and can cause increased discharge. If this affects you, please contact Beryl to book an assessment.
________________________________________
🩺 Doctor Visits
• Remove your prosthesis for Optometrist/Ophthalmologist exams
• Medication unsafe for contact lenses is also unsafe for prosthetic eyes
• Recurring infections may be prosthesis-related — let us assess

👁️ Eyes Alive Seasonal Greetings
Hey, Eyes Alive Family!
Following our last communication, we’d like to confirm that Eyes Alive will be closed from 23 December 2025 to 6 January 2026.
We still have limited space available for:
• Anyone needing a polish before the festive break, and
• Patients wanting to get a new eye before their 2025 medical aid benefits expire.
As the year winds down, we want to thank every one of you for your continued support. We appreciate your trust, your loyalty, and the privilege of caring for you throughout 2025.
We wish our entire Eyes Alive family a fantastic, restorative, and joyful festive season.
Please stay safe, travel well, and enjoy time with your loved ones.
Festive greetings from Beryl and Pedro 🎄👁️✨

✨ Eyes Alive End-of-Year Eye Care Reminder 👁️

Hey, Eyes Alive Family!

As 2025 draws to a close, many people suddenly realise they still haven't given their prosthesis the attention it needs. Whether you've been:
• Waiting for the school holidays,
• Saving your last 2025 medical aid benefits, or
• Needing an overdue polish,

Now is the perfect time to book before Eyes Alive closes for the festive break. Otherwise, your next appointment may only be in 2026.

⏱️ A Maintenance Polish takes just 30 minutes and leaves your prosthesis looking and feeling great for the festive season.

And we are back in South Africa. Hard at work today, having gained so much from our encounters with the European Association of Ocularists. Thanks, Guys.

19/09/2025

Yes, we did actually attend the European Association of Ocularists 13th Congress in Lisbon. The most amount of Ocularists we have neen in a room with at one time. There we about 50 of us there, from all over Europe, Australia, USA and beyond. Met up with old friends who have been to our congresses in SA as well. Great learning opportunity.
