☀️ It may not feel like it just yet, but the first day of summer is next week! When the weather finally decides to warm up (and stay warm), make sure your eyes are protected while you enjoy the sunshine! 🍻🍉🏖

Follow these essential tips to keep your vision sharp and your eyes healthy all season long:

😎 Not all sunglasses are created equal! Make sure yours are UV lens category 3 or higher to provide your eyes with the best protection from harmful sun exposure.

✨ Choose polarised sunglasses which reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water and roads, helping you see more clearly and comfortably outdoors.

😵‍💫 Be mindful that dry eyes are more common in summer due to the warmer weather and air conditioning.

🧼 Summer activities can lead to sweat and sand getting on your lenses, so always pack a lens cloth!

💦 Drink plenty of water to keep your eyes and body hydrated.

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your eyes healthy and comfortable. 👀✨

Stay sun-smart, stay safe, and enjoy everything summer has to offer! 😎🌻

Your diet plays an important role in your overall healthy and wellbeing, including your eyes. 👀✨

Here are 6 essential nutrients for healthy eyes — and the foods that contain them:

🥬 Lutein & Zeaxanthin – dark leafy greens like spinach, kale and broccoli

🥕 Vitamin A – carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin and mango

🍊 Vitamin C – citrus fruits, berries, bell peppers and kiwi

🥑 Vitamin E – nuts, seeds, avocados and healthy oils

🦪 Zinc – shellfish, legumes, eggs and seeds

🐟 Omega-3s (EPA & DHA) – fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines

Including these foods as part of a healthy diet can support your body’s nutritional needs, including those related to vision and eye function.

🌍 Today we celebrate Universal Children’s Day! 👧🧒

So let’s use this time to prioritise children’s vision and eye health. 👁️💫

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and development. 🌱 Healthy eyes and good vision help children learn, play and explore the world around them. 📚⚽🎒

Many eye conditions can develop without obvious signs, which is why early attention to vision, binocular vision function (ie. how the eyes work together as a team) and eye health matters. 👀💖

Encouraging regular eye exams 👓, safe screen use 💻 and protective eyewear 😎 are simple ways to support your child's visual wellbeing. 🙌

Is your child due for an eye exam? 📅✨ Book an appointment online, give us a call or drop in-store!

🌍 Today is World Diabetes Day. 💙

Did you know diabetes can affect your eyes and vision? 👁️

Diabetes can lead to eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macula oedema, which, if left undetected or untreated, can cause permanent eye damage and vision loss. ⚠️

Symptoms of diabetic eye disease aren’t always evident in the early stages, which is why regular eye tests are so important.

Spring into summer sun safety! 🌸☀️

With the weather slowly but surely warming up as we transition from spring to summer, tick off the 4 S’s every time you head out to protect both your eyes and skin.

✅ Sunnies 😎 – Choose sunglasses that block both UVA & UVB rays and meet the Australian and New Zealand standard for effective UV protection (category 3 and above). Bonus points for polarisation! 🙌

✅ Sun hat 👒 – Don't forget to pack a hat! Wide-brimmed is best for added eye protection.

✅ Shade 🌴 – Seek shade when possible, especially during peak UV hours.

✅ Sunscreen 🧴 – Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher, as recommended by Australian standards.
