EYE HEALTH: Omega-3 vs Macula Degeneration

I often recommend my clients try to have a good dietary intake of omega-3 fats as there's evidence to suggest they can be beneficial for reducing eye dryness, and therefore improving comfort. There’s also more evidence to suggest that the are beneficial for the health of your retina, and this article I found in MINDFOOD gives good, easy to understand information on recent research.

JUST BECAUSE: Talking About Eye Exams doesn't usually make us laugh

I recently came across this comedy piece on eye exams, and even as one of Occhiali's Optometrists I found it very amusing and educational!

What we have learned from this is that we promise to not give you coke bottles glasses, to explain the tests we do during eye exams and not look at your soul while we shine lights at you.

Hope you enjoy, Adele.

Anne et Valentin began making eyewear in Toulouse in 1981 and both stores have just had the new season's Optical Eyewear arrive. It takes 21 days to create a pair of Anne et Valentin handmade glasses and they've always been a favourite at Occhiali.
