Eye Health

Have a comprehensive eye exam.

You may think your vision is fine or that your eyes are healthy. When it comes to common vision problems, some people do not realise they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration often have no warning signs. A comprehensive eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages. 

We at InView Opticians offer 30 minute appointments giving us enough time to conduct thorough examinations and importantly offering our patients enough time to ask any questions.

Occasionally there are things that you, as a patient, may forget to ask during your visit. We welcome you to ask any questions or discuss any concerns by phone, by email or by popping in to see us.

Know your family’s eye health history.


Eat right to protect your sight.

You’ve heard carrots are good for your eyes. But eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale or collard greens is important for keeping your eyes healthy too. Research has also shown there are eye health benefits from eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and tuna. Taking supplements rich in omega-3 fatty acids is also good for dry eye issues. 

Wear protective eyewear.

Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home. Protective eyewear includes safety glasses with shields and goggles specially designed to provide the correct protection for a certain activity. Most protective eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is 10 times stronger than other plastics. We do specialise in protective eyewear. 

Quit smoking or never start.


Wear Sunglasses


Give your eyes a rest.

If you spend a lot of time at the computer or focusing on any one thing, you sometimes forget to blink and your eyes can get tired. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This can help reduce eyestrain.
