15.01.2022 Scroll down to read Kirk’s Glaucoma story One of Australia’s most loved rock stars, Kirk Pengilly from iconic band INXS, is throwing his support behind Glaucoma Australia in its fight against eye disease. Kirk, who is instantly recognisable for his signature black-rimmed glasses, knows firsthand that eyesight is a gift to be cherished. His own experience of glaucoma is the driving force behind his new role as an ambassador for Glaucoma Australia ... In 1987, I came within an inch of losing my sight because of glaucoma. Due to the severity of the disease, I was fast-tracked to a pioneering Australian ophthalmologist who quickly treated my deteriorating sight and prevented further damage to my vision. Until that point I had no idea what glaucoma was, Kirk shares. When I got glaucoma it really hit home and I realised how important sight was to me and, obviously, to everyone. It was a real wake-up call as I came so close to losing my eyesight. As a result I’m certainly more aware of my eyes, my eye health and the importance of regular eye exams. Glaucoma is the leading cause of avoidable blindness worldwide, affecting more than 300,000 Australians, yet it is estimated that 50% of those living with glaucoma are undiagnosed. While nine out of 10 Australians say that sight is their most valued sense, more than 8 million Australians are still not having regular eye tests. As a Glaucoma Australia ambassador, Kirk is hoping to raise greater awareness of the importance of eye health and encourage Australians to discuss their family’s eye health to find out if they have a genetic history of the disease. I’m really pleased to be an ambassador for Glaucoma Australia, and to help get the message out to Australians about the importance of having your eyes checked regularly, because most vision loss is preventable if detected early. . . . . . #worldglaucomaweek #worldglaucomaweek2020 #wgw2020 #glaucomaweek #glaucomaweek2020 #awareness #glaucomaawareness #optometry #optical #eyehealth #healthyeyes #healthyvision #prevention #preventionisbetterthancure #kirkpengilly #inxs #kirkINXS @glaucoma_australia @kirkpengilly_official

13.01.2022 Wearing sunglasses is important all year round not just in summer! Even if you can’t see the sun, UV rays can still cause harmful damage to your eyes UV rays coming down from the sun aren’t the only reason you should wear sunglasses though!... Did you know your eyes can get sunburnt from the reflection of the sun on snow?! On top of that, UV radiation increases 5% for every 1,000 feet you are above sea level! Even if you’re not planning on visiting the snow this winter, sunglasses can still play a vital role in your winter eye care! Wearing polarised sunglasses when driving reduces the glare and reflection from a wet or frosty road, helping you to see the road more clearly. This in turn gives you a safer driving experience something everyone wants. Sunglasses can even protect your eyes from the cold wind, helping to keep your eyes from feeling dry! Pop in store to take a look at our wide range of sunglasses. Both off the shelf and prescription sunglasses available. #sunglasses #sunprotection #eyeprotection #sunprotectioninwinter #uv #uvrays #winter #wintereyeprotection #eyes #optical #optometry #healthyeyes #careforyoureyes #eyehealth #youonlygettwoeyes #loveyoureyes
