For many children, an eye test or getting glasses can feel unfamiliar at first. That is why creating a warm, friendly and relaxed experience matters.

At Madale Scheepers Optometrist, we want children to feel comfortable from the moment they walk through the door. From our range of kids’ frames to the friendly faces in practice and of course Kian the practice Giraffe, we aim to make eye care feel a little less intimidating and a lot more fun.

If your child needs glasses, we can help you find frames that are comfortable, practical and suited to their personality, while making the whole process feel calm and welcoming.

Because choosing glasses should not feel stressful. It should feel like something they can enjoy.

Book your child’s eye test with Madale Scheepers Optometrist in Polokwane and come meet Kian while you are here.

If you are squinting at the TV, getting headaches halfway through the game or blaming the broadcast every time the scoreboard looks blurry, it may be time for an eye test.

Vision changes often happen gradually, which is why many people do not realise how much their sight has changed until everyday things start feeling harder.

A routine eye test can help identify:
• prescription changes
• eye strain linked to screen use
• dry eye symptoms
• visual discomfort and glare
• early eye health concerns that may not be obvious yet

So if rugby is on every weekend and you are starting to feel like the TV is the problem, it might actually be your eyes asking for a check-up.

Book your eye test with Madale Scheepers Optometrist in Polokwane if it has been a while since your last one.

School holidays usually mean more relaxed routines, more indoor time and, for many families, a lot more screens.

Between tablets, phones, gaming, TV and winter weather keeping children indoors, it is easy for screen time to add up quickly.

Too much close-up screen time can contribute to:
• tired eyes
• headaches
• rubbing eyes
• blurry vision after screens
• dry eyes from reduced blinking
• less time spent outdoors, which also matters for healthy visual development

A few ways to help support your child’s eyes this holiday:
• encourage regular breaks from screens
• balance screen time with outdoor play where possible
• keep devices at a comfortable distance
• watch for squinting, eye rubbing or complaints of headaches
• book an eye test if they are struggling to see clearly or often complain of tired eyes

If your child has been complaining about headaches, blurry vision or tired eyes, book an eye test with us in Polokwane.

If your child is becoming more short-sighted, you probably have questions and you are not alone. Here are some of the most common ones we hear in practice.

What is myopia?
Myopia is short-sightedness. It means your child can usually see things up close clearly, but struggles to see things further away, like the board at school or signs in the distance.

How do I know if my child may be myopic?
Common signs include squinting, moving closer to the TV, headaches, holding books very close, struggling to see the board at school or complaining that things in the distance are blurry.

Is it normal for my child’s prescription to keep getting stronger?
It is common for myopia to progress while children are growing, but that does not mean it should simply be ignored. Monitoring progression matters.

Can anything be done to slow it down?
In many cases, yes. Myopia management options such as Hoya MiYOSMART lenses may help slow progression and support long-term eye health.

Why does slowing myopia matter?
Because higher levels of myopia are associated with a greater risk of future eye health problems later in life. Early management is about more than just clearer vision now. It is about protecting long-term eye health where possible.

If you are worried about your child’s vision or want to understand whether myopia management may help, we are here to guide you through it.

If there was one thing Madiba taught us, it was to see beyond ourselves.

To see possibilities where others saw obstacles.
To see hope where others saw division.
To see people with compassion.

His iconic glasses became part of the image the world remembers, but it was his vision for humanity that left the greatest legacy.

This Mandela Day, we're reminded that clear vision isn't only about what we see with our eyes. It's also about how we choose to see one another.

"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others."
— Nelson Mandela

Today, let's honour Madiba by making a difference, however small. Because every act of kindness helps someone else see a brighter tomorrow.

Happy Mandela Day from all of us at Madale Scheepers Optometrist.

If you are thinking about contact lenses, one of the first questions is usually whether daily or monthly lenses are the better choice.

The answer depends on your lifestyle, comfort, budget and how often you plan to wear them.

Daily contact lenses may be a good fit if you:
• wear lenses occasionally rather than every day
• want the convenience of a fresh pair each time
• have allergies or sensitive eyes
• prefer a lower-maintenance option with no cleaning routine
Monthly contact lenses may be a good fit if you:
• wear lenses most days
• are comfortable following a proper cleaning and storage routine
• want a reusable option that can work well for regular wear

The most important part is not choosing what your friend uses. It is making sure the lenses are suitable for your eyes, fitted properly and worn safely.

At Madale Scheepers Optometrist, we can assess your eyes, talk through your routine and help you decide whether daily or monthly lenses are the right option for you.

Book a contact lens consultation in Polokwane and let us help you find the right fit for your eyes and lifestyle.

Whether it is school swimming, weekend sport or training after work, vision plays a bigger role in performance than most people realise.

Tracking the ball, judging distance, reacting quickly and staying focused under pressure all rely on good visual function.

For children and adults involved in rugby, hockey, netball and other fast-paced sports, poor vision can affect:

• reaction time
• depth perception
• hand-eye coordination
• confidence on the field
• comfort in changing light conditions

Even an outdated prescription can make a difference when the game moves quickly.

If you or your child are active, an eye test is a smart way to make sure your vision is supporting your performance and not holding it back.

Book an eye test with Madale Scheepers Optometrist in Polokwane and make sure your vision is match-ready this rugby season.

If your child’s glasses prescription keeps getting stronger every year, it is natural to feel like all you can do is keep replacing lenses and hoping it slows down.

But with myopia management, there may be another option.

Hoya MiYOSMART lenses are designed to do more than help children see clearly.

They are specially developed to help slow the progression of myopia while your child’s eyes are still growing.

That matters because progressive short-sightedness is not just about stronger glasses every year. Higher levels of myopia can increase the risk of eye health complications later in life.

MiYOSMART lenses are designed for children with progressing myopia and can help support:
• clearer everyday vision
• a more proactive approach to managing short-sightedness
• slower progression of myopia over time
• better long-term eye health planning while children are still developing

If your child is constantly needing prescription changes, it may be worth asking whether standard glasses are enough or whether myopia management should be part of the conversation.

Book your child’s eye test or myopia consultation with Madale Scheepers Optometrist in Polokwane to find out whether Hoya MiYOSMART lenses may be a good fit.
