Your vision is precious – protect your eyes from the sun

Worshipped since the dawn of civilisation, the sun symbolises life itself. Its energy is synonymous with rejuvenation, good health, beauty, and sport. The sun, however, is not without its dangers with its intense rays. It can lead to unpleasant red eyes and potentially more serious damage, even blindness. Your optometrist can advise which type of sunglasses to protect your eyes generally, or for specific sports or occupational needs. Children in particular are extremely sensitive and without protection are all the more susceptible to long term damage. The eyes of a child under the age of 10 transmit over 75 per cent of UV radiation compared to 10 per cent in adults over the age of 25. Photochromatic lenses such as Transitions are very useful. They darken when outdoors according to the light intensity, then change back to clear when indoors. Clear high impact lenses such as Airwear also provide 100 per cent UV protection, especially for active children.

Sunglasses for sport

Whether it is for driving, golf, sailing, biking, or running there is a multitude of different lens types that provide 100 per cent UVA/UVB protection. Optometrists now play an active role in sports vision training and skills. Accurate vision and depth perception directly affects your sports performance as well as co-ordination, concentration, and balance. Optique offers an extensive range of sports sunglasses, most notably Oakley, Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Adidas, Bolle, and Serengeti drivers. Optique will consider how technology can optimise your performance; optometrists prescribe, fit, and choose sunglasses that hug your face and protect your vision. Polarised lenses (also in prescription) totally eliminate glare. Robust yet lightweight wraparound, shatter resistant, designs stay securely on your face with thermo grip nosepads and sides. Interchangeable lenses and prescription adaptor inserts, sweatbars, and sportsbands are developed together with athletes to keep sight on the central concepts of vision and performance.

Sunglasses for style

Optique stocks a huge selection of designer eyewear and sunglasses such as Prada, Dior, Versace, Bvlgari, Armani , Roberto Cavalli, DKNY, Oliver Peoples, and Gucci. Fashion and fun is portrayed through such brands as Diesel, Miss Sixty, and Cavalli. Large aviator retro chic is the latest inspiration for that cool, classic, urban look. Molten metallics, precious stones, and animal prints make the latest eyewear extremely desirable. Optique Opticians will help you choose eyewear which is right for your look, your prescription, and your lifestyle.

CRT: Nighttime-wear contact lenses!

Amazing Results- Non Surgical Vision Improvement

How would you like the benefits of Lasik without any surgery and at a much lower expense?

Ask the Doctors about CRT: Nighttime-wear contact lenses. We have a contact lens that you put in before you go to sleep. While you are asleep the design of the lens gently molds the shape of your eye. When you wake up, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision all day long.

The lenses work like braces for the eyes. CRT is ideal if you are nearsighted, with or without astigmatism. Most wearers experience rapid vision improvement during their first week of wear. CRT is designed for anyone with low to moderate myopia (nearsightedness up to –4.50 diopters).

CRT is based on over 20 years of experience and knowledge. The CRT system was developed by Paragon Optical and is the first to earn FDA approval for nighttime use because of its excellent safety record. The design of the CRT lens is also unique giving good comfort and results.

As for effectiveness, when CRT wearers rated their vision before and after treatment with the CRT program, 91.7% said their unaided vision after treatment was good, very good or excellent. CRT is especially beneficial for children who have recently become nearsighted or the progression of their nearsightedness is of concern.
