19.01.2022 5 interesting facts about your eyes: Your eyes are made up of more than 2 million working parts. The human eye will focus on about 50 things per second.... Your eyes actually see images upside down and then they send these images to the brain where they are flipped around correctly for us. The human eye can distinguish about 2.7 million different colours and 500 shades of grey. The human eye can process 36 000 pieces of information every hour. (Source: Optometrists Association Australia) So...maybe it IS time for that annual check-up?

16.01.2022 Wed never be cheeky enough to say that any of our clients had had a few too many birthdays but if you are if your 4th decade or older read on... Have you noticed that your vision is changing? Perhaps you find yourself holding your newspaper or book at arms length, or it is taking you a little bit longer to focus on things that are closer to you. Presbyopia is a very common condition for people in their mid 30s and older - with many people not even realising that they co...uld be seeing things much more clearly then they do. Signs and symptoms of presbyopia include: Hard time reading small print The need to hold reading material farther than arms distance Problems seeing objects that are close to you Headaches Eye strain If this sounds like you - it might be time for your annual eye examination! www.hawkeneyes.com.au or 3766 9055

05.01.2022 You may be aware that St Lucia has been hit again by natural disaster. Not much mud this time, but not much electricity either. We are closed today but hopefully will be re opening tomorrow, Saturday. Best wishes to all. Craig and Jo

05.01.2022 One of the questions we frequently get asked at the practice is "Can pregnancy affect my vision?" The answer is yes. Changes in hormones, metabolism, fluid retention, and blood circulation can all affect your eyes and your eyesight during pregnancy. Water retention, for instance, may cause the thickness and curvature of the cornea of your eye to increase slightly. Its a small change, but it could affect how well your glasses or contacts correct your vision. You may find that... your eyes are drier and more irritated during pregnancy (as well as during breastfeeding). This, along with subtle changes in the shape and thickness of the cornea, may contribute to some difficulty wearing contact lenses that were once comfortable. Pregnancy isnt a great time to invest in a new pair of glasses, though. In most cases, these changes are temporary and will reverse themselves within several months of delivery.

03.01.2022 School holidays are coming up and the kids will be hitting the beach and pool. Did you know that Hawken Eyes stocks prescription swimming goggles? Call us now to discuss.
