Your hands are a primary vehicle for transferring bacteria and viruses to your eyes, increasing the risk of conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other infections.

Proper hand hygiene, especially before contact lens handling, is one of the simplest ways to protect your vision.

Wash well, see well.

Nearly half of all eye injuries happen at home, often during everyday tasks we don't think twice about.

Power tools, like saws, drills, and grinders, and lawnmowers, can send debris into your eyes. Chemicals in cleaning products can be harmful to your eyes.

Protective eyewear can prevent many eye injuries before they happen.

Whether you're tackling a DIY project, working in the garden or cleaning the bathroom, protecting your eyes is always worth it.

πŸ‘“ Your eyesight is priceless. Keep it safe at home as well as at work.

Flying debris, dust, and chemical splashes are leading causes of permanent vision loss.

Did you know that protective eyewear can withstand high-velocity impacts that standard glasses cannot?

Don't gamble with your sight. Whether you are grinding, cutting, or nailing, wearing safety glasses is the simplest way to ensure you go home with your vision intact.

Ever feel like your glasses are fighting against the weather? πŸŒ¦οΈπŸ‘“

One minute your lenses are fogging up, the next they're covered in raindrops, and on sunny days you're swapping between your glasses and sunglasses. Sound familiar?

The good news is that modern lens technology can make life much easier.

From anti-fog coatings to transition lenses, there are a variety of lens coatings to suit your lifestyle.

If you're tired of battling fog, rain or bright sunshine, chat to us about which lens options would work best for you.

Modern eyeglass lenses are surprisingly tough, but they're also more prone to scratches than the glass lenses of the past.

Why?

Most lenses today are made from lightweight plastics like polycarbonate. They're safer and more comfortable to wear, but they need a little extra care.

The best way to keep your lenses looking their best is simple:
βœ” Use a microfibre cloth.
βœ” Store them in a protective case.

Get in touch if you'd like advice on caring for your glasses, or if your lenses have seen better days. We'll help you find the best solution.

Constantly pushing your glasses back up your nose?

It is just annoying, and it usually means something has changed.

Here are a few common reasons:

πŸ‘“ Your frames have loosened with everyday wear.
🌑️ Heat can cause some frame materials to lose their shape.
😊 The fit simply wasn't quite right to begin with.
πŸƒ Active lifestyles can gradually affect how glasses sit on your face.

Well-fitted glasses should sit comfortably without slipping, pinching, or leaving deep marks.

In many cases, a simple professional adjustment is all it takes to make them feel like new again.

πŸ“Visit us in-store, in the Vergelegen Plein Shopping Centre, Somerset West, and we'll happily check the fit of your glasses to help keep them comfortable and secure.
