Progressive Lenses:

Progressive lenses are advanced multifocal lenses designed to help you see clearly at all distances — near, far, and everything in between — without switching between multiple pairs of glasses.

🔍 What are they?

Progressive lenses contain different vision zones all-in-one lens:
• Distance zone for driving and far clarity
• Intermediate zone for computer and daily tasks
• Near zone for reading and close work

All transitions are smooth and seamless, with no visible lines.

🎯 What are they used for?

They’re ideal for people who start noticing:
• Difficulty reading small text
• Slow focus when shifting from near to far
• Eye strain during screen use
• The need to carry more than one pair of glasses

Progressives offer a practical, all-in-one solution.

✨ How can they help in your everyday life?

• No need to switch glasses constantly
• Comfortable, natural vision throughout the day
• Smooth transitions at every distance
• Clear vision at work, while driving, and during daily activities

📍 Wondering if they’re right for you?

At Toowong Optometrist, we assess your visual needs and guide you toward the most suitable progressive lens design for your lifestyle.

✨ Seeing the world in style while staying protected! ✨

UV rays can cause long-term damage — from premature aging around the eyes to more serious conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration.

✨ Why UV protection matters:
• UV exposure is cumulative, and damage builds up over time
• The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate
• Proper UV protection helps preserve long-term vision and eye health

🕶️ How to protect your eyes:
• Choose sunglasses with 100% UV protection
• Wear a hat during peak sunlight hours
• Remember: even on cloudy days still expose your eyes to UV rays

Visit Toowong Optometrists and find a pair that makes you feel fabulous while keeping your eyes safe.
