Children’s eyecare initiative
Polly Dulley is chair of this national group, run by the Optical Confederation. The aim of the group is to improve eyecare for ALL children. This means trying to get the message across to both parents and teachers that eyecare is vital for all children. In the UK, just 53% of children have ever had any kind of eye examination, and this means that one in five children have an undetected vision problem.
Many parents assume that children’ss eyes are still checked at school, but this is simply not the case, in many parts of the UK. They also think that a child will complain if they have a vision problem, but many children don’st realise they have a problem, because they have no idea of what is normal.
So far, Polly has written a letter to the head teachers of 23,000 schools in the UK, asking for help from teachers in encouraging parents to get their children’ss eyes checked, and offering help and resources to improve understanding and knowledge about eyes and eyecare.
Many children who come to Aves already have been used in filming and for interviews in both local and national newspapers, telling their own story of why regular eyecare is so important and how it has changed their lives.
If your children haven’st had an eye examination, book them in today. It’ss free and it might make a huge difference to your child’ss development. Children who can’st see clearly find it more difficult to learn and play!
Prescription Sunglasses
Protecting our eyes from the sun’ss harmful rays is vital. Eye conditions such as cataract and macular degeneration are both more likely in people who don’st protect their eyes from the sun. Aves stock a wide range of both non-prescription and prescription sunglasses. A complete pair of prescription sunglasses costs as little as £99, so do pop in and have a look. Be ready for the sunshine!
Spectacle Frames
We have an extensive range of frames to suit every taste and pocket, ranging from traditional to designer, but always with quality as our priority.
Many of our more traditional styles come from established German and Italian manufacturers.
Silhouette is a name that will be known to many of you, as we have long been great fans of their fantastic quality frames. The range is always stylish but has also brought some great new innovations in frame design, including the superb titanium rimless that so many other manufacturers have tried to copy but without that essential Silhouette quality.
As well as manufacturing first class spectacle lenses, Rodenstock also produce a great range of traditional, top quality spectacle frames for both men and women.
Porsche Design is a range of superb quality and German engineering, designed mainly with men in mind.
Our current designer ranges include Gucci, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Valentino, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Hugo Boss, Max Mara, Bulgari and RayBan.
One of our new collections is the Danish ProDesign; a fantastic range with stunning colours and Scandinavian style. Why not call in and take a look.
As well as our range of international designs, we are delighted to stock the William Morris Eyewear collection. Based in nearby Bishops Stortford, this company offers exciting, colourful styles without a designer price tag.
With your budget in mind, you will be impressed by the Rodenstock Netline range, which has complete spectacle prices from just £80, even less if you’re entitled to an NHS voucher.
Our children’s frame collection includes designs from Zoobug, RayBan, Adidas and Animal. We also have a great range of children’s frames which are completely covered by the NHS voucher – this means that they cost you nothing!
