23.01.2022 Spending too much time on your digital devices? LCD/LED screens found on our computers and smart phones, all emit blue light, also known as high energy visible light. Altough blue light in itself is a natural phenomonon present in daylight, overexposure to artificial blue light can have adverse effects. This may include eye strain, fatigue and even sleeplessness. HOYA blue control lenses neutralize the blue light emitted by screens to help protect our eyes. Ask us about #HOYA #bluecontrol lenses at your next appointment.

18.01.2022 Timely reminder from INXS legend Kirk Pengilly to get your eyes tested.

18.01.2022 The Optometrists at InFocus Optical will continue to care for you. During this time of uncertainty as a result of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, we would like to assure you that the health and wellbeing of patients, carers, staff and community continues to be our top priority. With local GP clinics, eye specialists and pharmacies overwhelmed by the ongoing health crisis, we hope to ease their burden by dealing with the eye and vision problems of our local community.... We have always practiced with strict hygiene protocols in place and have also implemented additional responses to further minimise any risk. Please understand if at times we need to close the doors unexpectedly and limit the number of patients in the clinic. We have also installed an acrylic face shield in front of our equipment for added protection. InFocus Optical has been closely monitoring the situation and following the latest advice from the Australian Governments Department of Health, Optometry Australia Association, Optometry Board of Australia, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and the World Health Organization. We will follow State and Federal Government guidelines. Until advised otherwise our doors will remain open to continue assisting the community. We wish you and your family stay healthy and safe during these challenging times.

13.01.2022 Tag a friend who sees floaters! Do you see floaters in your vision sometimes? Eye floaters are caused by changes in the jelly (vitreous) inside the eye. Heres a video captured by our optometrist showing a great example of what the optometrist sees when looking at floaters in the eye. (Thanks to our patient for kindly giving permission to share) Importantly, black patches/spots/curtains over your vision can be something sinister, such as a retinal tear or detachment. These r...equire urgent attention. If you experience floaters, book in for an eye test with InFocus Optical and have them checked out. Call us on 9966 3838 or book online at www.infocusoptical.com.au. . . . #justfloatingby #floaters #eyefloaters #eyehealth #headaches #eyestrain #blurryvision #eyetest #seebetter #squintless #vision #optometrist #coburg #pascoevale #eyecare #glasses #contactlenses #seebetterseeus #optometry #localbusiness #community #eyecare #optometrist @infocus_optical See more

11.01.2022 Did you know some eye make-ups only have a shelf life of 3 months? We are definitely not make-up experts, but here are some important pointers from Optometry Australia in regards to eye health and make-up.

11.01.2022 Today is World Sight Day and we are encouraging everyone to organize their next eye test! In Australia, approximately 90% of vision loss and blindness is preventable or treatable and can be attributed to five main conditions - refractive error, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, cataract and glaucoma. At InFocus Optical we use the best eye care technology and bulk-bill Medicare card holders.

09.01.2022 This is how astigmatism affects your vision. If the world looks more like the top image, you may have some uncorrected astigmatism. Astigmatism is a common condition caused by a difference in curvature of the front surface of your eye. This results in light spreading or smearing over your vision. It is often more noticeable at night, causing eye strain and headaches. If this sounds like you, come visit our friendly optometrists for a vision test and eye health examination. . .... . #astigmatism #headaches #eyestrain #blurryvision #eyetest #seebetter #squintless #vision #optometrist #coburg #pascoevale #eyecare #glasses #contactlenses See more
