24.01.2022 Do your glasses fog up when wearing a mask? Do not despair, what you need is the Progear ANTI-FOG GEL, one of the best anti-fog gels on the market and it’s available for purchase! How to use it, you ask? Apply a sesame seed sized drop of gel on both sides of your lens, gently wipe evenly with the micro fibre cloth provided until the lens is clear and voila! UP TO 24 HOURS OF FOG FREE VISION!... How does it work? This thin gel is designed to minimise misting on the lens surface, creating fog free vision. Anti-fog properties were developed in the 1960s by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to use on helmet visors and are still in use today with not only masks, but goggles, visors and gas masks too! If you would like a bottle (or more!) DM / call or email us and we can pop it in the post for you #SupportLocal #SupportSmallBusiness

21.01.2022 So, we have total ENVY when a patient can pull off bright coloured frames. Please find Exhibit A above, that being our beautiful patient Mel, who selected these wonderful RED frames and OMG how gorgeous does she look in them???!!!! As we all are in lockdown, Mel was just not having crisp vision that she is accustomed to after working on the computer all day. After a thorough eye examination, Mel was prescribed glasses with a blue light anti reflective coating. The outcome be...low: Sharper vision when on the computer Sharper vision when using the iPhone Reduced eye fatigue Being able to pull off and looking totally effortless in RED Face à Face frames = PRICELESS We LOVE our work... and our work is done! Thank you Mel for your trust in us #SupportLocal #digitaleyestrain #bluelightfilter #computerglasses

18.01.2022 Today is WORLD SIGHT DAY 2020! World Sight Day is an international day of awareness to focus attention on the global issue of eye health. Did you know that 75% of all blindness or moderate to severe vision impairments are avoidable? Hence it is why it is so important to be visiting your optometrist regularly:... Ages 4 - 18 OR 40 and over = once a year; Ages 18 - 40 = once every 2 years Seeing your optometrist is about checking your vision, eye health and also preventative treatments such as slowing short-sightedness, slowing loss of peripheral or central vision, dry eye treatments and much more. If you haven't seen an optometrist for more than 2 years, book now (link in bio) and have peace of mind that your eyes are well looked after for many years to come #hopeforsight #worldsightday2020 #optometrist

08.01.2022 A P P R E C I A T I O N P O S T It has been a hectic few days since returning to full scope services... Lots to do, plenty of emails, calls and many conversations about eyes, fashion and all things optical! I wanted to take this opportunity to say the BIGGEST THANK YOU to all our patients, local communities, fellow local businesses, suppliers and friends that have continued to support our little businesses through this pandemic - all the wonderful people that have come to v...isit us and did the the right thing time and time again (disinfect hands, socially distanced, wore a mask)... I know it goes without saying but it is a wonderful place to interact and work knowing that the basics are taken care of without having to battle someone about it and why it needs to be done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to our wonderful patients and suppliers that have been so patient with us at times when things were a little busier than usual, and thank you to everyone that have said the kindest things about us, referred a friend / parent / partner / colleague / classmate / neighbour to us because of the positive experience they have had with us. I know I don't say it enough but it absolutely means the world to me and my entire team that this small gesture has kept us going through the tough times and has allowed us to assist people even in the smallest way. Last but not least, a big thank you to my team both in Swan St and Dingley - WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU??? Thank you for banding together with me, getting on with it when the going got tough, being nimble with me and keeping the patient always priority #1. Thank you for making my job easy to do and for that I am extremely grateful to each and every one of you. As my sons always like to say to me - TEAMWORK makes the DREAM work! Much love, Darran. #appreciationpost #swanstreetoptometrist #dingleyeyecentre #insightfuleyecare
