25.01.2022 Sunlight is the main source of blue light, and being outdoors during daylight is where it is most prevalent. There are also many man-made, indoor sources of blue light, including fluorescent and LED lighting and flat-screen televisions. Protecting your eyes at all times and in all situations is vitally important. One of the easiest ways to do so is to have a multi-coating on your lenses. These coatings, as part of their functions, block UV light, protecting your eyes from the rays that will harm your eyes.

25.01.2022 Santa has his eyes tested every year to make sure he's ready to take the sleigh out on Christmas Eve. Make sure you have your eyes tested regularly by calling us on 62729407 to book an appointment, or book online at https://glenorchyeyecare.com.au/

24.01.2022 So many different eyes, all doing the same job, in so many different ways. From the eyes of an elephant, with a visual range of only 8 metres, to the chameleon with it's individually moving eyes, to the peregrine falcon, who can see up to 3 kilometres away, there are no two eyes the same. Not even in the same head! #amazingeyes

23.01.2022 The clock is ticking on your private health insurance for 2020. If your health insurance is one that renews on January 1st and you haven't claimed any optical benefits this year, now is the time to do something about it, otherwise that money of yours will disappear. To book an appointment, call 62729497 or book online at https://glenorchyeyecare.com.au/

23.01.2022 Heterochromia is a generally benign condition affecting the iris (the coloured part of your eye). With heterochromia you may have two different coloured eyes, or you may have different colours within the iris of one or both eyes. It's relatively common within certainly breeds of cats and dogs, but rare in humans. Most cases are present at birth, but in some people can develop the condition as a result of an illness. If you notice your eyes are changing colour, it is time for an appointment with your optometrist. Otherwise, just enjoy the beauty of nature in these glorious photos.

22.01.2022 Here are a few more strange and unusual frames that you won't be finding on our racks, but it's fun to look and giggle. #whatweretheythinking #statementspex #overthetopmuch?

21.01.2022 Remember Mum's nagging about "Eat your greens"? Well, turns out she was right. Green vegetables, especially leafy ones, have lots of lutein which does wonders for your eyes (and the rest of you).

18.01.2022 One of the problems with Covid-19 masks is how they fog our glasses up. This article offers several suggestions to beat the fog.

18.01.2022 Currently we are having phone problems. We are trying to get this sorted ASAP with Telstra, but unfortunately we have no idea when it will be back on track.

15.01.2022 It's coming on to Summer and we have a new range of sunnies! Polaroid sunglasses were actually the world's first polarized sunglasses, being invented in 1937. Some people ask what the difference is between polarized lenses and other sunglass lenses. Plain tinted lenses are placed in a vat of dye and they soak up the colour, which reduces the intensity of light. That suits a lot of people, but others have a glare sensitivity, and that's where polarized lenses come in. Polarization has a special filter that cuts out glare as well as light. Polarized lenses are also excellent for seeing INTO water, which makes them excellent for fishermen and other water sportsmen. #Polaroid #polarizedsunglasses #cuttheglare

15.01.2022 We can have headaches for many reasons. An easy way to eliminate eye strain as the cause is to have an eye examination. Call us on 62729407, or call into our office at 368 Main Road, Glenorchy. You can also book on-line on our webpage https://glenorchyeyecare.com.au/

14.01.2022 We are still keeping Covid-19 safe. Regular disinfection of surfaces, hand sanitisers strategically places and Mandy ready to aim with the nice pine-y smelly disinfectant spray are part of our daily routine.

13.01.2022 Been a while since you've had a vision check? Book online today and put your mind at ease

11.01.2022 It's getting to the business end of the year, when things start getting hectic. If you have private health insurance extras cover that you haven't claimed this year, now it the time to book an appointment for an eye test and get new glasses. In many cases we can help you with glasses that will be covered through your private health insurance. #Useitorloseit

06.01.2022 It's Avocado day! These fruit were first eaten in Mexico as far back as 8000BC. Cultivation followed from approximately 3000BC. Originally known as the alligator pear, the fruit is now popular worldwide and known as the avocado. A single ounce of avocado contains 80 micrograms of luteinmost lutein supplements only give you 10 mcg! So, what is lutein? It's an anti-oxidant that directly benefits your retina. This means avocados help prevent age related macular degeneration. #Avocados #Avocadoday

05.01.2022 Our phones are back in working order! Our apologies for the problems, but we are all in working order now.

05.01.2022 A lot of health funds tick over on December 31st. If yours does this and you haven't claimed your optical benefits this year, that money will go to waste. We can organise a pair of glasses with no out of pocket expenses for you, quick and easy. Come in and see us at 368 Main Road, Glenorchy. #Useitorloseit

04.01.2022 The year is slipping away.

We can help you find some glasses that will be covered through your health insurance* and have you ready for the New Year! *Terms & conditions apply

03.01.2022 Happy Birthday to a great boss and friend! Enjoy your week away from us

03.01.2022 These frames are what we would call 'statement frames'. Which is your favourite? #oohlala #thatcantbecomfortable

02.01.2022 Many childhood learning problems can be helped with an eye examination and a pair of glasses. We bulk bill examinations to Medicare, so there is no cost to you. Ring on 62729407 or make an appointment online at https://glenorchyeyecare.com.au/

01.01.2022 Astigmatism is a common eye condition that occurs when the cornea or the lens of your eye is not spherical. The surface of the cornea is shaped more like a football instead of round like a basketball, which is the usual shape, so it causes blurry vision, as seen in the bottom example in our picture here. An eye examination and new glasses will fix the problem for you and you can go on your way to a new life of no more blurriness. Contact us online at https://glenorchyeyecare.com.au/ or ring 62729407 to make an appointment.

01.01.2022 There are several small adjustments we can make to ease eye strain. Consider posture and lighting and, if necessary, adjust chair, desk or computer positions. #makeitworkforyou #glenorchyeyecare
