24.01.2022 [ U V ] It’s important to introduce kids to protective eyewear from an early age so that it becomes their norm. Forming a habit of wearing UV protective sunglasses not only for yourself, but for your kids eyes can protect them from the effects of long term exposure to UV which include higher risks of macular degeneration, advanced cataract formation, growths on the eyes such as pterygiums and skin cancers on the eyelids. Call in and see our team at Swan Hill and Kerang Optical about protecting your eyes from UV exposure year round Visit us at www.swan hill optical.com.au or phone us on 54503000

24.01.2022 [ ] Geraldine picked a JFREY Eyewear Design that hadn’t even hit the shelf! This model brings a new approach to the combined metal / acetate frame. Its double metal structure keeps the glasses in the acetate rim. The fineness of the metal harmonizes visually with the thickness of the acetate rims. Flexible and light, the structure is maintained by a discreet and aesthetic hinge. Add to that Geraldines fine features, her prescription lenses in a short corridor multifocal lens, including an anti reflective coating, for her best vision, and she has a show stopping complete new look that we’re proud of and she can show off!

17.01.2022 Adopt the 20-20-20 rule! For every 20 minutes spent looking at a screen, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Our advice: Remember to look out of the window at an object like a tree, a building across the street or gaze at the birds in the sky! #staysafe #MorningRoutine #... S

16.01.2022 [ L i g h t i s l i f e ] Light is essential to life and sight. Sight begins when our eyes are touched by light. All day our eyes are exposed to a combination of many different light conditions, from various sources and all directions. ... Our eyes need to constantly adapt all day long to these dynamic and ever-changing light environments. As a result, light can be obstructive or harmful. It can annoy us or adversely impact vision. Our eyes are precious, but they are sensitive to light. No matter your lifestyle, occupation or passion; the need for light control is universal. Transitions lenses incorporate light Intelligence to provide protection from not only UV, but also Blue Light. The new Gen8 Transition lenses, available in 7 colours, are up to 3 minutes faster to fade back, up to 30% faster to activate and darker than ever before. Book online at www.swanhilloptical.com.au or phone 5450 3000 to discuss your options with light intelligent lenses.

14.01.2022 [ ] Time putting everyone else’s health before yours in a woman’s life also seems to coincide with changes in hormones that can have an effect on the eye, such as during pregnancy and menopause. Progesterone and estrogen levels change through these life phases, which can lead to symptoms such as vision fluctuations, dry eyes, spots and floaters. The risk of developing macula degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts and dry eye is increased in post-menopausal women. - , 5450 3000 ...

03.01.2022 [ MYTH ] Sun damage is not possible on windy, cloudy or cool days.... FALSE : You can get sun damage on windy, cloudy and cool days. Sun damage is caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, not temperature. A cool or overcast day, like today, can have similar UV levels to a warm, sunny day. Sun damage IS possible on cloudy days, as UV radiation can penetrate some clouds, and may even be more intense due to reflection off the clouds. So if you're back enjoying sport on the weekends... and the sun hasn't made an appearance yet, make sure you still cover those precious assets. To check the daily sun protection times: online (cancer.org.au or bom.gov.au/uv), in the weather section of newspapers, or on the free SunSmart app. The sun protection times show when the UV is forecast to be 3 or above. Today we were sitting at 4 when I checked at 10.30am with a fully overcast sky! Protect your eyes - you only get one set. Book online : www.swanhilloptical.com.au Phone : 5450 3000 See more
