Oliver Peoples 28/10/2011
Born from a love of vintage eyewear from the 1940’s to 1960’s brothers Larry and Dennis Leight created Oliver Peoples in 1987. 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.
Oliver Peoples frames and sunglasses are made using the finest quality materials such as Italian acetate and Japanese titanium. They are one of the only fashion brands to offer advanced lens technology in their sunglasses such as Polarized lenses, photochromic lenses and extra anti-glare coatings.

Notable styles this season include the Benedict - a classic unisex aviator with a subtle wrap around for great glare protection and a titanium frame for lightweight durability. As seen on Bradley Cooper in the hit movie the Hangover Part 2 and Robert Downey Jnr in the movie Due Date. |  |
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the landmark film To Kill a Mockingbird, Oliver Peoples has collaborated with the family of star Gregory Peck to create a replica of the spectacles worn by him throughout the film. It is a bold acetate style featuring a classic keyhole bridge and is perfect for anyone who, like Atticus Finch, does not choose to follow the crowd

Online Contact Lens Company ordered to cease supply -14/09/2011
Here at theeyecarecompany, we have seen many complications that have arisen due to patients purchasing contact lenses online, which is why we're glad to see this mivision article about an online contact lens retailer being ordered to cease supply.
Purchasing lenses without a prescription through online contact lens retailers leads to inappropriate care and use of lenses by patients. Contact lenses are a medical device, and even if your eyes feel fine, it is necessary to have an optometrist evaluate your wearing schedule, cleaning system or lens type. Early interventions can prevent long term complications which may lead to not being able to wear your lenses at all or even permanent vision loss.
You'd never know if you're purchasing from an actual Australian company, even if the website ends .au, as this particular website does. With the recent spate of contact lens product recalls over the past year, you'd most likely never be contacted if your contact lenses were recalled due to being faulty or potentially harmful.
With something so important as your vision, why risk it just to save a couple of dollars?
theeyecarecompany optometrists are happy to work with your budget for contact lenses, pop in to any of our locations today!

Retinal Imaging - 15/09/2009
Retinal imaging allows us to take a high-definition, digital record of your eyes. The image captures the back of your eye (retina), through your pupil, to allow the optic nerve, macula and retinal blood vessels to be seen in great detail.
Imaging is very useful in early detection of diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetes and glaucoma.
It’s as simple and painless as taking a photograph of your eyes, but with a highly detailed microscope and a well-trained optometrists eye to spot any changes or abnormalities.
