If your glasses constantly:
• slide down your nose
• fall off when you look down
• feel loose on your face
• sit unevenly

…it is often because the frames have been stretched from wearing them on top of your head.

We see it all the time.

Glasses are designed to fit securely around your face, not around your hairstyle.
The good news? Small adjustments can usually make a big difference.

At Madale Scheepers Optometry, we offer free frame adjustments because your glasses should fit comfortably and properly.

No slipping.
No constant pushing them back up.
No balancing act every time you bend forward.

Pop in if your frames need a little TLC.

Youth Day is a moment to reflect on the courage of the young people who helped shape South Africa’s future and the responsibility we all share in supporting the next generation.

Every child deserves the opportunity to participate confidently, learn comfortably and feel supported as they grow.

For many children, the ability to see clearly plays an important role in everyday life, from reading and learning to confidence in the classroom and participation in activities.

This Youth Day, we celebrate the resilience, potential and future of South Africa’s youth.

Happy Youth Day from our team to your family 🇿🇦

Children rarely tell you they cannot see clearly.

Instead, you may notice things like:
• sitting too close to screens
• squinting
• rubbing their eyes
• losing focus while reading
• struggling with schoolwork

Small signs often get brushed off until they start affecting confidence and performance.

A routine eye test can help identify issues early before they become bigger frustrations.

Book your child’s eye test before the school holiday.

Rubbing your eyes may seem harmless. It is not.

Constant or aggressive eye rubbing can cause serious long-term damage, including:
• scratched corneas
• severe irritation
• eye infections
• worsening allergies
• corneal weakening and deformation (keratoconus)
• permanent vision changes

If there is dust, an eyelash or irritation in the eye, rubbing can act almost like sandpaper on the surface of the eye.

And if your hands are not clean, you may also be transferring bacteria and allergens directly into your eyes.

For people with allergies, rubbing actually makes the itching worse by triggering more histamine release.

Instead of rubbing your eyes, try:
• preservative-free artificial tears
• a cold compress
• allergy eye drops recommended by your optometrist
• booking an eye assessment if irritation keeps happening

Your eyes are delicate. Treat them that way.

If you are experiencing ongoing irritation, redness, blurry vision or discomfort, book an eye test with us.

As exams get closer, many children suddenly seem:
• distracted
• frustrated
• mentally exhausted
• slower with reading

But sometimes it is not about effort or concentration at all.

When eyes are working harder than they should, reading becomes draining very quickly.

Children often do not realise their vision is part of the problem because they assume everyone sees the same way they do.

A proper eye test can help identify whether visual strain may be affecting learning, focus and reading comfort.

Especially before exam season.
Book your child’s eye test today.

Your contact lenses should not:
• burn
• feel dry all the time
• leave your eyes red
• feel uncomfortable by midday
• be slept in “sometimes”

Overwearing lenses or not caring for them properly can increase the risk of:
• eye infections
• irritation
• dry eye symptoms
• inflammation
• long-term damage to the surface of the eye

A few simple habits make a huge difference:
• replace lenses on schedule
• never use water instead of solution
• avoid sleeping in lenses unless prescribed
• wash hands before handling lenses
• attend regular contact lens check-ups

Comfortable lenses should feel almost invisible.
If yours do not, it may be time for a reassessment.

Book your contact lens consultation today.

An eye test can reveal more than changes in vision.

It can help detect early signs linked to glaucoma, blood pressure and blood sugar related changes.

Looking after your eyes is part of looking after your long-term health.
If it has been a while, this is your reminder.

Book your annual eye test.

That is how eye tests get postponed.

Until the headaches start.
Or the squinting.
Or your child starts sitting closer to the TV.

Let’s not leave it for next month. Let’s make it happen.

If your contact lenses feel less comfortable in colder weather, your eyes may be responding to drier conditions.

Comfort should not be something you just tolerate.

Sometimes a simple reassessment can make all the difference.

June exams are around the corner, and for some children, studying is more than just challenging. It is uncomfortable, frustrating, and exhausting.

If your child:
• skips lines when reading
• complains that words move or blur
• avoids reading tasks
• gets headaches or tired quickly

…it may not be a focus or effort issue.

It could be visual stress.

At Madale Scheepers Optometry, we offer the ReadEZ assessment to identify whether coloured overlays or lenses can improve reading comfort and performance.
Because when reading becomes easier, confidence follows.

Book your child’s assessment before exams begin.
