Screen Time & Myopia
More screen time = more strain on young eyes.
Too much close-up work (especially on phones and tablets) can contribute
to faster myopia progression.

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and
look at something 20 feet away.

Long-Term Risks of High Myopia
Myopia isn’t just about needing glasses.
High levels of myopia increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including:
- Retinal detachment
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
That’s why slowing its progression early is so important. We're here to help.

World Contact Lens Week
Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus:
Sometimes people with an irregular cornea due to injury, disease and conditions like keratoconus can't achieve satisfactory vision correction with spectacles or regular soft contact lenses. These people may need to be fitted with a scleral lens.
Scleral lenses are a large, custom-made har contact lens designed to vault over the irregular cornea, giving you clearer, more comfortable vision.
At Hansen Optometrists, we have several optometrists with experience in fitting these tricky, speciality contact lenses. We have given many people with vision impairment due to irregular corneas a better quality of life.
Book a consultation and see what’s possible.

since. 1886

Our story at Hansen Optometrists is one rich in history. We are the oldest family run and continual Optometry practices in Australia. First established when Henry Hansen, a Danish jeweller and watchmaker, opened his jeweller shop in Orange where he made and sold spectacles in 1886. In 1902 his son, Fred Hansen, advertising himself as a “Scientific Optician”, was testing eyesight and prescribing spectacles.

In 1945 his sons, Lel and Bob Hansen, continued the tradition as fully trained optometrists. They established Western Optical Pty Ltd with practices in Orange, Parkes and Wellington.
