25.01.2022 You don't know what you are missing out on let alone protecting your eyes for the future

24.01.2022 Maui Jim’s patented PolarizedPlus2 lenses enhance the colours your eyes naturally perceive. So, you see vibrant, saturated colors with a higher level of contrast and greater depth perception. The lenses are infused with a blend of three rare Earth elements to enhance red, green, and blue. These elements increase and balance the saturation of colours we need to see, and filter out the colors that cause interference that we can’t see.

23.01.2022 As the borders increasingly open lets all commit to Covid safety protocols, so we are all safe.

22.01.2022 Lets hope some good days ahead

21.01.2022 The Lancet Commission of Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care presented new findings on dementia at the 2020 virtual Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) : 12 preventable lifestyle factors determine 40 percent of dementia cases Some 3 new risk factors were determined to increase dementia risk since the study was first published in 2017. They include excessive alcohol intake, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and air pollution. The other 9 factors includ...e not completing secondary education, hypertension, obesity, hearing loss, smoking, depression, physical inactivity, social isolation, and diabetes. Altogether, these 12 lifestyle factors account for 40 percent of the world’s dementia cases. Eye exams can also be done objectively to get the best visual results. Recommendations/Suggestions include: Maintaining systolic blood pressure of 130 mm Hg or less in midlife from around age 40 years Encouraging the use of hearing aids for hearing loss and reducing hearing loss by protecting ears from high noise levels Reducing exposure to air pollution and secondhand tobacco smoke Preventing head injury, particularly by targeting high-risk occupations and transport Preventing alcohol misuse and limiting drinking to less than 21 units per week (1 unit = 10 ml or 8 g) Stopping smoking and supporting individuals to stop smoking Leading an active life into midlife and possibly later life Reducing obesity and diabetes

17.01.2022 Try prescription Maui Jim sunglasses! No risk trial

16.01.2022 According to the 2020 Vision Index, more than a quarter (26 per cent) of Australian men have sustained an eye injury while undertaking a DIY project, compared to just 14 per cent of Australian women. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that in 2016, men accounted for 83 per cent of the 11,078 registered cases on the Medicare database in which optometrists removed a foreign body embedded in the eye. These figures are an important reminder that people should wear Australian standard safety glasses while doing tasks that generate debris such as wood cutting, carpentry, grinding, hammering, mowing or pruning. Safety glasses are readily available in clear, tinted and prescription options. https://www.peterdarcy.com.au/safety-eyewear-goggle/

15.01.2022 Its Summer time!

12.01.2022 Are you seeing as clearly as possible and happy with your spectacles?

10.01.2022 Research conducted by Optometry Australia for the 2020 Vision Index found a whopping 76 per cent of Australians think it is unnecessary to wear sunglasses during the winter months; whilst almost one in 10 Australians do not know UV protective sunglasses exist. Just because the sun is behind the clouds, it doesn’t mean we should forget about protecting our eyes, especially when a staggering 90 per cent of the sun’s UV rays can filter through even the thickest cloud cover. So, ...while we may not be able to see the sun on cold and gloomy days, it’s there and so too are its damaging UV rays. During autumn and winter, the sun is at a lower level on the horizon leaving us exposed to UV rays. Right through the cooler winter months, UV levels are three or above in Australia, putting our eyes at risk of short term or permanent damage - including cataracts, pterygium and photokeratitis. https://www.peterdarcy.com.au/maui-jim-sunglasses/ See more

02.01.2022 Antifog glasses are ideal if you are going in and out of cold rooms, or for underground workers Dust shields, protective eyewear and better lens coatings can also reduce fogging and contaminants.

02.01.2022 Leaving eyes unprotected in high-glare situations can result in eyestrain and headaches. In fact, 26% of daytime car crashes are attributed to glare. The American Automobile Association and Canadian Automobile Association recommend that consumers INVEST in a pair of polarized sunglasses for driving. NOT ALL POLARISED LENSES ARE THE SAME
