Are you supporting New Zealand products?

Are you supporting New Zealand made product ? Coz' we are at Visique Kapiti.

The Buy New Zealand campaign began in 1988. Its emphasis has shifted over the years, but the basic aim of encouraging consumers and organisations to buy New Zealand goods and services wherever possible has not changed.

When you buy a New Zealand produced product or service, you’re helping to create jobs, promote growth. As every cricketer knows, a run saved equals a run scored – so you’re giving our country a double whammy benefit when you buy New Zealand rather than from another country.

Essilor is the world's leading manufacturer of spectacle lenses, pioneering the development of a range of lenses and lens coating to cater to a myriad of eyesight problems.

Essilor New Zealand works on the "think globally , act locally" principle. Essilor started its operation in New Zealand in 1998 and since then, has built a solid reputation as one of the leading supplier of lenses to optical retailers around the country.

In addition, Essilor has the technological and financial support of its international parent company based in France. Essilor New Zealand employs over 120 New Zealand staff and has offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch.

Fly Buys Back to School 2011

Ministry of Health vision screening for kindergarten and primary school children is not targeted to pick up those other vision problems that can cause a child’s fine motor skills (needed to read and write) to work incorrectly.

Most children with visual problems are long-sighted and have eye coordination problems. Once given correct glasses, they show significant signs of improvement in their learning. "Once a child wears the correct spectacles there is nearly always a dramatic transformation in their learning performance, behaviour, concentration, comprehension and self belief."

Back in 2011

Hello, and I hope that 2011 is treating you well. We have had the usual number of "minor disasters" welcoming us back to work this week...stolen prescription sunglasses, broken frames, lost contact lenses...this time of year, with the labs and wholesalers shut or on reduced hours, makes us even more aware than usual of the benefits of having a spare appliance.

Most people who wear contact lenses are using disposables, so they have "extra" pairs waiting to be worn. But if you develop an eye infection, and cannot wear your lenses, you need a spare pair of glasses. And if you are dependent on visual correction - for driving, reading, working, whatever - you need a spare.

They don't have to be as glamorous as your everyday pair, but they have to be comfortable and functional - enough to get you by. Always take a spare pair on holiday - missing the sights on a trip is no fun, neither is driving home from Taupo without glasses as they were lost in the lake. (And if it is illegal for you to drive without glasses...) Sunglasses are not an adequate spare pair when you are drving at night, either.

We suggest in keeping a good, previous pair as a backup. But if your prescription is changing rapidly, or after eye surgery, your last pair might not be an adequate spare. As long as you can drive legally, and function as you would like (not being embarrassed at wearing your 1986 specials!) they are a good spare. If you wouldn't want to be seen in them at work, the frame is broken, the lenses are too scratched to see through or the script is way out of date, they're not a good spare.

Like Mrs Christmas, telling you to start saving for next Christams in January, I need to tell you not to spoil next year's summer break by not having a spare pair NOW...so you are prepared for me to tell you to consider a spare when you come in for your next eye exam.
