Whether you're playing squash, cycling, enjoying a game of tennis or getting your children involved in outdoor sport, eye safety deserves a place in your kit.

Sports-related eye injuries can happen during recreational activities, not only professional competition.

Depending on the sport, protective eyewear may help reduce the risk of injury from impact, flying objects or accidental contact.

Ordinary prescription glasses and sunglasses are not necessarily designed to provide impact protection.

If you or your child participate in sports where eye injuries are a risk, ask about suitable protective eyewear and whether prescription options are available.

Make eye protection part of your sports routine. Speak to Vision Works Mall of the South about your eyewear needs.

When choosing sunglasses, it's easy to focus on the frame, the colour of the lenses or how dark they look.

But darker lenses don't necessarily provide better protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Look for sunglasses labelled UV400 or 100% UV protection. These are designed to block the relevant UV rays, regardless of whether the lenses are light or dark.
Good-quality UV protection is important throughout the year, especially when spending extended periods outdoors.

And remember, sunglasses are not just a summer accessory. They're part of protecting your eyes from the sun.

Looking for sunglasses that suit your style and your eye care needs? Visit Vision Works Mall of the South.

Spring brings warmer weather, blooming flowers and more time outdoors. But for some people, it also brings itchy, watery and irritated eyes.

Seasonal allergies can affect your eyes as well as your nose, leaving them feeling uncomfortable when you're trying to enjoy the outdoors.

If your eyes are frequently itchy, watery or red, avoid rubbing them, as this can make irritation worse.

A cool compress may help soothe discomfort, but persistent or recurring symptoms should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.

If you're unsure what's causing your eye irritation, speak to your optometrist.

When was your last proper eye test?

If you can remember when you bought your glasses but can't remember the last time your eyes were actually examined, it may be time to make an appointment.

An eye test isn't only about whether you can read the letters on the chart. It gives your optometrist the opportunity to assess your vision, check your prescription and look at the overall health of your eyes.

And you don't have to wait until your vision becomes obviously blurry before making an appointment.

If you're due for an eye test, we're here to help.

Book your eye test at Vision Works Mall of the South.

Ever wondered what it would be like to stop wearing your glasses every day?

Contact lenses can be a great option for people who want more freedom from their frames, whether that is for sport, work, special occasions or simply a different look.
But choosing contact lenses isn't just about picking a brand off the shelf.

Your prescription, eye health, lifestyle and the way the lenses fit your eyes all matter.
That's why a professional contact lens fitting is important when you're making the switch.

If you've been thinking about trying contact lenses, our team can help you understand whether they are suitable for you and find the right option for your needs.

How long have you had your current glasses?

If the answer is "I honestly can't remember", it might be time to check in with your optometrist.

Scratched lenses and worn frames are obvious signs that your glasses have seen better days, but changes in your prescription can be much harder to notice because they often happen gradually.

If your vision doesn't feel quite as clear as it used to, an eye examination can help determine whether your prescription still meets your needs.

And if it is time for a new pair, we can help you find the right frames and lenses for your prescription and lifestyle.

Clear up close, blurry in the distance? That’s your clue. 

Myopia, also known as short-sightedness or nearsightedness, can make the world further away look a little fuzzy while everything close to you stays clear.

The good news? There are a number of ways we can help correct your vision, depending on your eyes, lifestyle and individual needs.

If distance is starting to lose its detail, come chat to us. Sometimes seeing clearly starts with simply noticing what’s changed.

One of the biggest misconceptions about eye health is believing that good vision means healthy eyes.

Many serious eye conditions develop gradually and without noticeable symptoms.
A comprehensive eye examination checks far more than whether you need glasses.

It can help detect signs of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts and other eye health concerns before they affect your vision.

Looking after your eyesight starts long before you notice a problem.

If it's been more than a year since your last eye test, now is the perfect time to book.
