Spring into summer sun safety!

As the weather warms up, tick off the 4 S’s to protect both your eyes and your skin every time you head out this summer:

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

✅ 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.

Summer is almost here, and it’s time to 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 have UV lens category 3 or higher to protect your eyes from harmful sun exposure.
☀️ Be mindful that dry eyes are more common in summer due to heat and air conditioning.
💦 Drink plenty of water to keep your eyes and body hydrated.
😎 Try polarised sunglasses which reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and sand, helping you see more clearly and comfortably during outdoor activities.
☀️ Clean eyewear regularly to keep your vision sharp and clear.
🌞 Summer activities can lead to sweat and sand getting on your lenses, so always pack a lens cloth!

Today we celebrate Universal Children’s Day, so let’s use this time to prioritise children’s eye health.

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and development, and healthy vision can support how children learn, play, and engage with the world.

Many eye conditions can develop without obvious signs, which is why early attention to eye health matters.

Encouraging regular eye exams, safe screen use, and protective eyewear are simple ways to support children’s visual wellbeing.

It's World Diabetes Day.

Did you know diabetes can affect your eyes?

Diabetes can lead to an eye condition known as Diabetic Retinopathy, which when left untreated may cause eye damage and vision loss.

Like many other eye conditions, symptoms are not always evident in the early stages, which is why regular eye tests are so important for early diagnosis.
