Slide into healthy eyes

It’s not enough to just Slip Slop Slap to protect yourself from the damaging rays of the sun.  Optometrist Tom Roger, manager of Eyecare Eyewear, is urging locals to also ‘Slide on a pair of sunnies’.

“Many people don’t realise that spending even a moderate amount of time in the sun without eye protection can make you more prone to vision problems later in life.”

Tom suggests protecting your eyes by updating to the latest Transitions® lenses.  These lenses automatically adjust to changing light, are available for most prescriptions including bifocals and progressives and can be fitted to almost every style of frame.

When it comes to fashion frames, Eyecare Eyewear offers designer brands such as Gucci, Adidas, Ralph Lauren and Prodesign – a new look from Denmark.  There’s also the Flexon frame – a lightweight, flexible, almost unbreakable, titanium frame.

Tom’s degree in optometry, graduate certificate in ocular therapeutics, MBA and many years experience, allow him to offer holistic Eyecare. This includes eye health, contact lens fitting and children’s vision assessments.

Being open Thursday nights and Saturdays doesn’t leave much spare time, but that hasn’t stopped Tom getting involved with the local tri-sports, golf, and bridge clubs.

With the ease of bulk billing, 15% pensioner discount (on selected frames), and an electronic record system, let Tom and his team help you slide into better eyecare today.
