25.01.2022 Contact Lens wear and COVID-19 There is currently no evidence to suggest an increased risk of being infected with the Corona Virus known as COVID-19 through contact lens wear compared to spectacle lens wearers or those with normal vision who do not require vision correction. Contact lenses are safe to wear for healthy individuals.... Contact lenses provided by leading manufacturers are manufactured in safe sterile conditions making the contact lenses safe to wear. For many years we have been recommending that contact lens wearers practice proper hygiene techniques when handling their contact lenses. We know that the corona virus has only a fragile fatty outer membrane which is easily destroyed by soap, therefore proper hand-washing with soap will easily destroy it. In addition, the virus is usually contracted by touching an infected surface and then transferring the virus to your facial area. Therefore, thorough hand-washing, drying and strict hygiene practices are required in order to reduce the risk of contracting this virus or any eye infection. Now, more than ever it is critically important that contact lens wearers to pay great attention to proper hygiene. My tips for safe contact lens wear are: Do not wear contact lenses when you are sick. This includes symptoms of colds/flu, red eyes, sore eyes and especially if there is any discharge from your eyes. Make sure that you use contact lenses, solutions and eye drops as prescribed by your Optometrist and within the manufacturers recommendations and expiry dates Wash your hands thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling your contact lenses. Avoid touching your eyes, face, nose and lips as much as possible and avoid eye rubbing. Do not purchase contact lenses from dubious sources, including counterfeit contact lenses and those offered through unlicensed premises or providers, as these contact lenses may not be sterile and safe to wear. Your eyes should look good, feel good and see good. If in doubt, then always seek our professional advice. Our practice may be closed but I am still available via telephone if you need advice. We are available if you need to replenish your supply of Contact Lenses. Please call us on 4369 8169 ~ Nicholas

16.01.2022 Ever wondered why your eyes are watery? It could be from eye allergies, especially as we approach Spring.

16.01.2022 Does your work-from-home setup include a pair of Computer Glasses with protection against high energy blue light to help you to maintain focus on your work. On average (before quarantine times) we spend 10 hours per day in front of computer, television, and phone screens. High-energy visible (HEV), aka blue-light rays are emitted off of those screens and cause our eyes to work harder and age faster. Blue light is known to cause more rapid visual fatigue when you are working on a screen for long periods of time. Blue light is known to disrupt sleep, as it can be harder to get to sleep and have good quality sleep. Weve got a solution for you - free upgrade from your standard Diamond Finish Multicoat to Diamond Finish Blue Control.

15.01.2022 Guide dogs are such a wonderful help to our sight impaired. However, they do not know about social distancing so lets help guide dog owners in such challenging times

15.01.2022 Children who are experiencing headaches, sore eyes or blurry vision are obviously in need of a Behavioural Optometry Assessment as a matter of urgency. However many children dont report symptoms. If you observe them squinting, rubbing their eyes, being slow to change focus or reading with poor posture then these are also signs that they need their eyes checked. If they are consistently losing their place when they read, reversing letters, confusing letters or words or demon...strating poor comprehension or recall of visual information then their learning will be affected and a Behavioural Optometry Assessment is indicated. A Behavioural Optometrist can diagnose and treat more conditions in children than the typical Optometrist and will be far more likely to provide solutions which will positively impact your childs visual and academic performance.

11.01.2022 Well, there is a bit going on in the world, and weve always looked forward to 2020 being our year! 2020 vision, of course! We understand the growing concern and uneasiness that you may be feeling regarding the COVID-19 outbreak - we share your concern too. We want to assure our clients that Eyes by Design are taking precautions to ensure the health and safety of our clients and team against the current Coronavirus situation.... To continue to provide you with the help that you need, we need to implement some sensible and straightforward precautions to minimise risk. We are taking these steps to make sure our practice remains as safe as possible, and to optimise the chances that our team stay well to provide you with the help that you need. Things may, of course, change but for now, we ask you to please respect the following: If you have any symptoms of cold, flu, runny nose, cough or believe you may be coming down with any respiratory illness, as a courtesy to other patients and our staff, please call immediately to reschedule your appointment. There is, of course, no cancellation fee charged in this situation, just let us know and give us as much notice as possible please. Please call us to reschedule your appointment immediately if you have returned from overseas OR if you have had close contact with a person with confirmed COVID-19 while infectious, as you must self-isolate at home for 14 days in conjunction with government guidance. We always implement safe hygiene practices as a matter of habit but need to take some extra measures at the moment. So: Although we routinely welcome our patients with a handshake, we are not shaking hands until this all blows over- this is not to cause offence and other variations are encouraged! Please enter our practice with your hands clean by using a sustained soap and water wash +/- alcohol-based sanitiser. Our Front Desk team will wipe down the payment terminal following each transaction and regularly wipe down our door handles. The wellness of our clients and team is always our highest priority. We will address and update our procedures and recommendations as required based on the World Health Organisations as well as the Australian Governments Departments of Health. We appreciate your cooperation and support of our business as we work through these uncertain times. Many thanks for your understanding. Kind regards Nicholas and Angela Altuneg

10.01.2022 Diabetes often leads to dry eyes! Due to restricted blood circulation in the structures of the eye, the nerves, which supply the eye, can be damaged. The nerves affected can be those which control the lacrimal glands. Call us today for an appointment!

07.01.2022 Eyes by Design was established in January 1998 by Dr Nicholas Altuneg out of his passion for helping children, especially those with more difficult cases including learning difficulties. At Eyes by Design, weve strived to serve the specific needs of people that arent entirely listened to. Whether they are children with ADHD or learning disabilities, or adults with glasses that hinder them in their chosen profession. In this decades long relationship with our customers weve... grown an appreciation for one critical principle that too many of our first time customers ignore. And that is: Check regularly, or learn too late. More than 50% of sight loss in the average population is preventable, and modern optometry has a surprising array of techniques and technologies that can help you diagnose, treat and manage your sight. As you age, these regular check-ups become critical, because they can drastically extend the lifespan of your vision, allowing you to enjoy a drastically superior quality of life. So if you have been postponing that check-up with your optometrist, consider this a friendly reminder :)

06.01.2022 Did you know? The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air. #optician #ophthalmology #optical #eyeglasses #contactlenses #eyeexam #eyecaretips #eyewearfashion #frames #eyesight #eyetreatment

02.01.2022 One familys story on how vision screenings did not catch problems with their childrens vision. Vision issues in children often occur slowly, so kids cant always tell you they arent seeing well. Comprehensive eye exams with a Behavioural Optometrist are critical to ensure your child is seeing and performing their best.
