👁️ Struggling with dry eyes? There’s a powerful solution you should know about:
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy! 🔥
Originally used in dermatology, IPL is now helping people with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) — a leading cause of dry eye. It uses gentle light pulses to:
✅ Unclog oil glands
✅ Reduce inflammation
✅ Fight bacteria & mites
✅ Improve tear stability
Quick, non-invasive sessions can bring lasting relief when eye drops or warm compresses just aren’t enough.
Ask your Optometrist if IPL for dry eyes is right for you — your eyes will thank you!

Dry eye is a sore, gritty sensation caused by not enough tears being produced or an upset to the normal function of the eye affecting the quality of tears to form a protective tear film over the eye's delicate front surface. Dry eye is common with ageing and is more common in women than men. It is associated with many conditions, medications, and not blinking enough while using the computer tablets or screens.

👀 Why is your child’s vision so important?

Did you know up to 80% of children’s learning is visual?
From reading and writing to whiteboard work and computer use, school can be a real challenge if your child can’t see clearly.

Clear, comfortable vision is essential for successful learning. Many everyday classroom tasks rely on seeing and processing visual information quickly — and vision problems can easily go unnoticed.

📅 Book a comprehensive eye examination with Shattky Optometrists to make sure your child is seeing their best.

👓 Bring your child in for a comprehensive eye examination with our experienced optometrists. A thorough eye exam can:
✨ Detect vision problems early
✨ Improve reading and learning comfort
✨ Identify issues not caught by basic school vision screenings
✨ Support your child’s confidence and success in the classroom!
