<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>U are Vulnerable to UV damage all times of day, all year round. This summer, always use UV protective lenses in combination with other UV protection measures such as remaining in the shade, wearing a hat and sunscreen.</em></strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Accumulated UV exposure to your eyes can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration (a leading cause of blindness), pterygium (a fleshy growth on the eye), solar keratopathy, and skin cancer of the eyelids and around the eyes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even short bursts of unprotected UV exposure can lead to eye pain, irritation and sensitivity to light. All UV eye exposure, regardless of how short, adds up in the long term.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
UV radiation levels are three times higher during summer than in winter. Higher levels of UV are also experienced at high altitudes such as at ski fields and when light is reflected off a surface such as water or snow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>It is important to wear suitable UV protective lenses all the time and have your<br />eyes tested regularly or as advised by your Optometrist.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adding a UV protective coating to your prescription lenses, buying prescription sunglasses with back surface UV protection or buying sunglasses that can be worn over your glasses is a great way to reduce your UV exposure. Some contact lenses also have built-in UV protection, but it is recommended that you still wear sunglasses over the top to protect the rest of the eye.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 1.4;">Ermenegildo Zegna has been a leading Italian fashion house for over 100 years and </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">one of the few which is still family run.

Using the finest Italian acetates and high quality metals such as </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">titanium and stainless steel, Zegna has once again seamlessly combined design and </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">function to offer you the ultimate eyewear collection.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.4;">Lanvin is one of the oldest continuously trading fashion houses in all of Europe and </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">encapsulates everything we love about Parisienne chic. Mme Lanvin began as a </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">couturier in the early 20th century after being admired for her own fashion sense.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.4;">Lavin shot to fame in the 1920s and 1930s as society embraced her forward thinking </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">designs and her love of embellishment, intricate trimmings and all things feminine. </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">This vision is alive in Lanvin today, and is perfectly demonstrated in their eyewear </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">collection.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.4;">With subtle detailing and their signature jet black crystals matched with a more </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">modern play on androgyny Lanvin eyewear offers subtle glamour for the everyday </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">woman.</span></div>

It was a departure from the futuristic and modern styles of the late 1980s and was an instant hit. Since then they have continued to create unique and timeless styles creating trends rather than following them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Oliver Peoples frames and sunglasses are made using the finest quality materials such as Italian acetate and Japanese titanium.

<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;" />
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">This past week has been really exciting! One of our optometrists that specialises in contact lenses Dr Margaret Lam has been working with Dr Emma Gilles and Dr Emmanuel Calligeros to present some very exciting findings to the Sydney, Parramatta and Canberra optometry audience about UV blocking contact lenses. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">These </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">results are hot off the presses from the recent British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) Conference in late May 2012, and published just recently in June 2012 in various papers.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;" />
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">So for some background, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">one little known fact is that macular degeneration is currently Australia’s leading cause of blindness. Your macula is in the middle of your retina, on the back of your eye. When you look at something, your whole eyeball swings around to position that object onto the middle of your retina (right onto your macula) so that you can see clearly. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">It is critically important that your macula is working well so that you can see.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;"> Of course this also means it is important that it is always checked during an eye exam to make sure things are going right. (We always do, so make sure you get it checked!)</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;" />
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">Things like giving up cigarettes, a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, reducing your vegetable oil intake, taking multivitamins and extremely good UV protection for the eyes have already been well established in lowering your risk of developing macular degeneration. It’s also been established you can lower your risk by making sure you come in for an eye test at least once every 12 months.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;" />
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">However, for the very first time, certain contact lenses may now play a significant role in keeping macular degeneration away too</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">What they’ve just been able to prove is that contact lenses that provide UV protection can help to preserve your macular pigment density. Your macular pigment is a bit like your ‘internal sunglasses,’ the yellow spot that is protecting your eyes from damage from the sun or from blue light. Your macula pigment also helps to keep your macula functioning well.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">Studies show that those that have low levels of macular pigment density are much more likely to develop macular degeneration. Macular pigment density can be preserved if your contact lenses have UV block in them. Certain contact lenses such as Johnson & Johnson Acuvue Oasys, Johnson & Johnson Acuvue One Day Moist, Acuvue One day TruEye and CooperVision’s Avaira contact lenses all provide virtually 100% UVA and UVB protection.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;"> </span><br />
