This August, we’re using Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month as an important reminder to look after young eyes. 👀

Vision problems in children are not always easy to notice, especially when a child assumes everyone sees the world the same way they do.

Keep an eye out for signs such as:

👁️ Frequent squinting
👁️ Closing or covering one eye
👁️ Tilting their head to see
👁️ Sitting unusually close to screens or books
👁️ Difficulty seeing the board at school

Regular eye examinations can help identify problems that may otherwise go unnoticed. Protecting children’s eyes during sport, outdoor activities and play is just as important.

A simple eye check today can help give your child a clearer view of the world around them.

Winter can be tough on your eyes.

Cold winds, indoor heating, dry air and longer hours under artificial lighting can all leave your eyes feeling dry, tired or irritated.

The good news is that a few simple habits can help keep your eyes comfortable through the cooler months.

Eye care is important all year round — not just in summer.

This winter, follow these simple tips and give your eyes the same care and attention as the rest of your health.

JulEYE is a reminder for Australians to take their eye health seriously and understand the role eye checks can play in detecting eye disease early.

Some of the most common causes of vision loss and blindness in Australia include macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Many eye conditions can develop gradually, and in some cases, they may run in families.

Regular eye checks can help identify changes early, giving people the best chance to manage their eye health before issues become more serious.

Speak to your eye care provider and take better care of your eyes.

If everyday tasks like reading, driving at night, or recognising faces are becoming harder, it may not just be part of ageing.

With early diagnosis and modern treatment, most people experience a significant improvement in vision.

This Cataract Awareness Month, we're here to help you stay informed and proactive about your eye health. If something doesn’t look right, it’s worth getting it checked.
