The sun is a powerful force. Its warm rays can brighten up a day, but they can also harm our skin and eyes if we’re not careful. This is where sun protection comes in.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly those over the age of 50. It is a progressive disease that damages the central part of the retina, known as the macula, which is responsible for sharp, detailed vision. The macula is essential for activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. As a result, AMD can greatly impact a person’s quality of life, making it difficult to perform daily tasks and participate in social activities.

Children’s vision is a crucial aspect of their overall development. As parents, it’s essential to understand common vision problems that can affect children and how to identify them early on. Four common vision issues in children are myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and strabismus.

Presbyopia is the gradual reduction in the amount that the eye can change its focus.

It is a normal part of aging, and usually becomes noticeable between the ages of 40 and 50 as an inability to focus on near objects. People in this age group often find that they have to hold things further away to see them clearly.

Many Australians lose part or all their sight as a result of diabetes.

This happens because nearly half of all Australians with diabetes aren’t having regular diabetes eye checks.

With Summer sports soon to start it is important to consider the safety of your child if they are playing sports with glasses on.

Glasses can cause considerable injuries to the face/eye area if hit during sport.

There are a few options available for good vision that is also safe, for playing sports like basketball, tennis, hockey, cricket and football.

Perhaps you’ve recently gone for an eye test and your prescription has changed, maybe your lenses or frames have cracked or bent out of shape, or you’re simply after a new style. Whatever the reason is, you now have an old pair of glasses on your hands. So what can you do to avoid sending them to landfill?
