25.01.2022 Don't lose sight of what matters- 2 in 100 Australians will develop Glaucoma in their lifetime, a life altering eye disease that causes irreversible vision loss. The loss of sight is usually gradual and a considerable amount of peripheral (side) vision may be lost before you realise there is a problem. Early detection and treatment can save your sight. Detection of eye disease is part of an Eyecare Plus Checkup Plus eye examination. Contact your Eyecare PlusWollongong on4227 2557or text 0411374419to book an appointment.

24.01.2022 High energy, short-wavelength blue light scatters more than other visible light. Reducing some of the blue light from digital devices will generally reduce glare, improve contrast and may improve comfort and reduce eye fatigue. 1) Screen display settings for blue light control "Blue Light Filter" setting on your smartphone... "Night Shift mode" on your iPad, iPhone or iPod 2) Spectacle lenses with blue light control Blue light reduction can be achieved with special antiglare blue filter lens coatings/materials, Transitions photochromatic lenses and sunglasses. Leading lens technology is available from our lens suppliers including Essilor, Zeiss, Hoya and Shamir. There can be different reasons for digital eye strain and a blue light filter is not always the solution. A comprehensive eye exam is important for accurate diagnosis of eye conditions and appropriate treatments. . . #optometry #optometrist #wollongong #loveyoureyes #sharing #getyoureyeschecked #love

20.01.2022 My son was telling me yesterday "Mum, why are you torturing me with bananas??".. He has been eating a lot of bananas lately .. he didnt want to eat the apples or oranges.. so bananas it was.. for the whole week. I need to do some serious grocery shopping this weekend. Maybe surprise him with his favourite blueberries. Food thoughts?.. Which fruit and veggies are in season? Eye nutrition thoughts? ... Vitamin C may help prevent cataracts and may assist in dry eye management. It is an effective antioxidant that protects proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids from free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage. Found in fresh fruit and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, berries and tomatoes. Vitamin C supplements (in particular high doses) can sometimes cause gastrointestinal distress. It is best to consult your doctor/nutritionist/pharmacist for advice on best Vitamin C formulas if you have a sensitive stomach. #food #love #optometry #wollongong #vitaminc

09.01.2022 Hope you are all enjoying this weekend and preparing some healthy delicious meals with lots of colourful fresh vegetables. I find the weekend a great time to meal plan and check on my small garden patch. We are back with normal consultations by appointments only and open one or two Saturdays a month. Catching up with patients we missed over the past few months. ... Saturdays book up quite quickly. Im waiting for my next patients to arrive.. so insta post time it is! Good nutrition supports good eye health. Whats for lunch today? Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants that help to filter out harmful blue light and reduce hazardous free radicals in the macula. They may also help prevent cataracts. Lutein and zeaxanthin is found in dark leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach and silverbeet, and also corn, cabbage, oranges, celery, red peppers, peas, pumpkin, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and beans. Some vegetables high in lutein may also be high in vitamin K. Vitamin K can interfere with the function of medicines such as the blood thinner Warfarin. Patients on medications should consult their doctor about dietary precautions before making diet changes. Have a great weekend! #optometrist #wollongong #loveyoureyes

05.01.2022 How are we all adapting to the lockdown? Weve had several semi urgent phone calls for spectacle repairs and orders. Patients struggling with old broken glasses, not able to drive and not able to read.

Where possible we can assist these patients or refer on for specialist care. Phone calls are a good start. Stay safe.

05.01.2022 Eating for Good Eye Health... Whats for dinner tonight? Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of Macular Degeneration. Omega-3 fatty acids modulate inflammatory and immune responses in the body. There is strong evidence that consuming actual fish (2-3 serves per week) may reduce the risk of Macular Degeneration.... However, current evidence does not show significant benefits when taking fish oil supplements. There may be limited data at this stage. For patients who do not take fish regularly, you may consider a fish oil supplement after consulting with your doctor. Found in all fish and shellfish, and in higher concentrations in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, anchovies, trout, herring and sardines and tuna.

01.01.2022 It helps to prefold your face mask to get it fitting snug around your nose and against your face. The quality and density of the mask material will also determine how much water vapor escapes as you breathe. The outer layer should help block water and the inner layers block particles and absorb moisture. Sharing Dr George Yangs demo video on surgical face mask fittings.
