BACK TO SCHOOL PROMOTION

At the start of the school year, it's timely to remind parents about the strong relationship between vision & learning.
Vision problems can be subtle, so children's eyes should be checked before they start school & every two years as they progress through school.

And with this "Back to School" XBOX 360 promotion from Strachan Eyecare & Jonathan Sceats Eyewear, there is no better time than now:



WIN AN XBOX 360!
Is your child needing a new or spare pair of glasses for the school year?

To enter the drawer to win an XBOX 360, just purchase a full new pair of glasses, selecting a frame from any of our kids ranges before March 31 (package range frames excluded).



Good Luck!

SUE & LACEY ARE OFF TO INDIA


Sue will again be heading to Trichy in southern India in February on her seventh trip with overseas aid group EQUAL HEALTH. Lacey, one of our office team (and Sue & Greg's daughter), will be Sue's optical dispenser on her first  EQUAL HEALTH camp.

The EQUAL HEALTH Team of health professionals provides care to poor people living in remote parts of rural India.
The Optical team conducts basic eye tests & supplies free new glasses, & also facilitates cataract surgery for the many people who are unnecessarily blind or visually impaired.


For the EQUAL HEALTH team, it's a very busy but extremely rewarding experience.

& remember our Overseas Aid Box for old unwanted glasses at each practice.
