EyeSense Vision Optometrists

Imagine not being able to read.

Or got to work.

Or play the sport you love.

Imagine losing the opportunities to progress in your career.

Or the confidence to build new relationships.

Or even the motivation to socialise.

The impact of vision problems goes far beyond not seeing clearly.

We’ve witnessed the challenges.

We’ve heard the emotional stories.

We’ve seen the hopelessness on patients’ faces.

But we’ve also had the privilege of helping people regain control of their lives.

To see their confidence return.

To see their personalities pop.

To see them become optimistic about their future.

Not everyone can help the same way we do.

But everyone can ask one simple question:

Are you OK?

Dads... We see you. We love you. We appreciate you. 🫶

Dads, September is all about you...

When you had a really tough day...

And then you remember you have an amazing team who isn't only good at what they do...

But they're supportive enough to realise you need a little pick-me-up.

My heavy heart has been lifted.

And I'm filled with gratitude. 😊

I wish all business owners were as lucky as I am.

Before owning my own practice, many business owners told me the same thing:

Managing staff is the hardest part of owning a business.

Maybe that’s true.

But it very much depends on your team.

Just last week, we had one dispenser who had an appointment.

And that same morning, our other dispenser called in sick.

Two fully booked optometrists, one fully booked vision therapist…

And one staff member at the front desk.

It happened to be Zoe, our youngest team member.

The morning could’ve been chaotic.

But Zoe handled it like a seasoned pro.

🔹 Welcoming patients
🔹 Pretesting
🔹 Dispensing
🔹 Phone calls
🔹 Emails
🔹 Quotes and payments

All of it, without missing a beat.

Yes, this shows she’s been trained well.

But more so, it shows her grit. She steps up during challenging moments.

No complaints. No delays.

A morning that could’ve been my biggest headache became one of my proudest moments.

Patients never even knew we were short staffed that morning.

And that’s exactly the way we want it.

We hear some interesting stories. 😄

What's the most creative reason you've given for why your glasses broke?

Slow reading. Poor recall. Eye strain.

Some think it’s normal.

But it could be a sign that your vision isn’t functioning as it should.

Yes, you can see the words clearly.

But reading involves way more than just seeing the words.

Your eyes must flow across the page with ease.

If your eyes jump, you may:
🔹 Skip words or entire lines
🔹 Keep losing your place
🔹 Struggle to follow the story
🔹 Forget what you’ve just read
🔹 Reread sentences to understand them

The skill is called eye tracking

✨✨✨

And both your eyes should show teamwork.

They should focus on the same spot at the same time.

It’s also known as eye teaming.

When your eyes are misaligned, your brain gets two different images.

Now your brain gets confused, so your brain may:
🔹 Ignore your one eye
🔹 Or force your eye muscles to work harder to maintain focus

So, you experience eye strain, headaches, and fatigue.

Especially at the end of the day.

✨✨✨

Then there’s visual processing.

Your brain must interpret every letter.

Every word.

Every sentence.

There’s a lot to do in split seconds:
🔹 Recognise letters and words with accuracy
🔹 Understand the meaning
🔹 Recall information in the right sequence
🔹 Create mental images of what you’re reading

Are you an effective reader?

Or do you find reading frustrating and exhausting?

And we may help you uncover what’s really holding you back.
