Myopia, or nearsightedness, is an eye condition that makes distance objects blurry, while near objects remain clear.  Myopia is easily correctable by spectacles and contact lenses, and most people can get by quite easily with these options.

If you would like to learn more about the importance of myopia control, or the treatment options that may be available to you, please contact our offices where our team would be happy to help.

NVISION Eyecare® is the first, and currently the only, optometry practice offering treatment in LIPIFLOW©  in New Zealand.  If you have not seen us before we recommend booking in for a comprehensive Dry Eye Evaluation first.  This will allow us to first assess how severe your dry eye is, and to allow us to get a baseline measurement of your dry eye to compare with measurements after the treatment.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-k for short) is the use of specially designed contact lenses that are worn over-night to correct vision. In the morning the lenses are removed, and vision is corrected for 1-2 days, allowing people to be spectacle-free for that period of time.

It probably comes as no surprise to learn that we spend more time looking at computers and other types of screens than ever before. In fact, studies show that the average adult consumes five times more information every day than their counterpart would have done 50 years ago, and up to around 12 hours a day are spent looking at some sort of screen. Also unsurprising is the effect that this amount of screen time is having on our eyesight.

One ocular health problem that is very common but often overlooked or ignored is known as dry eye disease. Although dry eye disease isn’t dangerous, it can make your day to day life much more difficult than it needs to be. This is because there are simple, straightforward treatments available that can alleviate your symptoms.
