Have you heard of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction?
It is one of the most common causes of dry eye.

When the tiny oil glands in your eyelids become blocked, your tears evaporate too quickly. The result can be:
• Burning or gritty eyes
• Blurred or fluctuating vision
• Watery eyes
• Redness and irritation

The good news is that effective treatment is available.

We have been providing IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy for dry eye and MGD for more than 5 years, helping many patients achieve lasting relief.

If dry eyes are bothering you, it may be time to look deeper at the cause.

My eyelid won’t stop twitching… should I worry? 👀

I hear this a lot.

Short answer: usually no.

Eyelid twitches are almost always harmless.
They can be associated with:

1️⃣Fatigue
2️⃣Stress
3️⃣Caffeine
4️⃣Not enough water
5️⃣Low Magnesium Intake

…or sometimes no clear reason at all.

They also tend to arrive in clusters — then quietly disappear.

The nervous system is a curious creature.

If your twitch is bothering you, lasting longer than expected, or you just want peace of mind — Jenny and I are always happy to check things over.

Locals caring for locals.

For a bit of fun, we decided to ask AI for a description of our Optometrist - Peter McKay.

Here's how AI describes Peter along with a portrait it's created. 🤣🤣

Peter the Optometrist (according to AI 🤓)

Peter is practical, thoughtful, and quietly ambitious.

An optometrist by trade — a systems-thinker by instinct. He cares about patient journeys, team wellbeing, and the small improvements that actually make a difference.

He prefers clarity over fluff. Simple words. Useful processes. Australian plain-speak.

Equal parts clinician, small business owner, and quiet optimiser — always nudging things a little closer to better than yesterday.

Community matters. People matter. Progress matters.

That’s the vibe.

Clear answers for their eyes. Peace of mind for you.

When you were a child, you probably assumed the way you saw the world was normal. Most kids do. That’s why many vision problems go unnoticed for years — especially in school-aged children who don’t realise their vision could be better.

Children are incredibly adaptable. They learn to squint, tilt their head, sit closer to the board, or avoid certain tasks without ever mentioning it. If their vision has always been blurred or strained, they may assume everyone sees that way.

The problem? Vision plays a huge role in learning, reading, confidence, and classroom performance. When issues are picked up early, they’re often easier to manage — helping children reach their full potential at school and beyond.

That’s why an eye examination should be part of your back-to-school routine every year.

And while kids are our focus, adults matter too. The new year is the perfect time for parents and carers to check their own eye health and lead by example.

When should eyes be tested?
☑️First eye examination around 6 months of age
☑️Another check at age 3
☑️Before starting school
☑️Every 1–2 years throughout the school years
Adults should also have regular eye examinations, even if vision seems fine

Supersight for School means confidence, clarity, and comfort - in the classroom and beyond.

Book an eye examination today and start the year with vision you can rely on.
