Myopia (short-sightedness) is more than just blurry distance vision. It occurs when the eyeball grows longer than normal.

This can increase the risk of eye conditions such as retina detachment and glaucoma.

Standard glasses can help make vision clearer, but they do not prevent the growth of the eye. There are special lenses to help slow down the changes of myopia.

That’s why if your child is short-sighted, it is important to have regular eye checks with an optometrist so we can intervene early and monitor closely.

Did you know your tears are made up of three layers?

The oily layer (top layer) is to prevent the watery layer from drying up too quickly.

The watery layer (middle layer) is to provide moisture and nutrients, and to protect the eye from infection.

The mucus layer (bottom layer) is to help the tears stay stable on the surface of the eye.

With summer here, don’t forget to wear your sunnies.

Sun safety isn’t just about putting on sunscreen and wearing a hat — it’s also about wearing sunglasses when you are outdoors.

Sunglasses can help prevent UV damage to the eyes and UV related eye problems.

Roadworks 🚧
There are long-term roadworks going on between Maffra and Stratford from now until March. We ask that our Stratford, Bairnsdale and surrounding patients allow extra time to get to their appointments as there is only 1 lane open on the Stratford-Maffra Road.

Thank you and drive safe!

Have you ever noticed small spots or lines floating in your vision?
These are called floaters. They form when the jelly-like substance inside your eyes changes over time and creates small clumps that cast shadows on the back of your eye.
Occasional floaters are normal, but sudden new floaters with flashes or blurred vision need urgent optometrist care.

As parents, we tick off a hundred little things before school starts. An eye exam can be one more way to support your child’s learning and everyday activities.
Studies have shown that uncorrected vision problems can affect how children perform at school, from reading to concentrating in class.
A simple eye exam before term starts is a great way to help your child feel ready to learn and thrive.
Book an appointment with Maffra or Rosedale Vision Care today, or pop in to arrange a time.
