EYE NEWS<br />

You only get one<br />

pair of eyes!<br />

Look after them!<br />

lenses that adapt better to light <strong>and</strong> Office lenses<br />

that help with the varying screen distances needed<br />

for laptops, desktops <strong>and</strong> vision across a room. With<br />

For many, new year resolutions are falling<br />

away. Healthy eating <strong>and</strong> more exercise aren’t<br />

matched with the same enthusiasm as a few<br />

weeks ago. You can make a great start by<br />

eating plenty of green leafy vegetables,<br />

vibrant coloured fruits, <strong>and</strong> oily fish - <strong>and</strong><br />

also ensure you have a regular eye test.<br />

Not only having an eye test to monitor the state<br />

of your eyes, your Optician can also identify whether<br />

you have high blood pressure <strong>and</strong> high cholesterol<br />

from the test. Having a special OCT scan of your<br />

eye this can help to diagnose <strong>and</strong> therefore monitor<br />

conditions 5-7 years earlier than a st<strong>and</strong>ard eye test.<br />

The cost of this test is about the cost of a round of golf<br />

or a pamper at the spa. Healthcare today is about early<br />

detection, monitoring <strong>and</strong> treatment of conditions.<br />

lens treatments like Blue Control to help the blue<br />

light flicker from electronic screens <strong>and</strong> UV absorbing<br />

Reflection Free to minimise annoying reflections with<br />

added UV protection, it’s advisable to listen to advice<br />

<strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> the benefits to help you make the<br />

right choice.<br />

There are innovations in frame materials too. Frames<br />

made from recycled materials are light, durable <strong>and</strong><br />

popular. The Eco range by Modo have an individual<br />

matching polarised magnetic sun clip meaning your<br />

clear prescription glasses become a sunglass without<br />

the need for a second pair. With lots of designs <strong>and</strong><br />

colours you won’t find it difficult to appreciate more<br />

than one style.<br />

Whatever concerns you may have about your eyes or<br />

vision ask your Optician. After all, they know all about<br />

eyes.<br />

We have seen the introduction of specialist lenses for<br />

night driving, new improved photochromic (Transitions)<br />
