About Hawera Eyecare

Save our sight month is right around the corner, and there’s no better time to give your eyes some attention than right now.

In our earlier pieces, we’ve touched on ominous diseases like Glaucoma, which have no symptoms to speak of until vision is irreparably lost. This time we’ll steer away from all the doom and gloom, to discuss some of the more common problems affecting us as we age and which are very normal.

Everyone is affected by presbyopia after the age of 40. Inside the eye is a lens. By changing the shape of the lens, our eyes can change focus from distance to near and everything in between. This lens loses its elasticity over time. This means our ability to focus on close objects or small print will gradually decline with age. Presbyopia affects everyone, from those who have had glasses their entire life to those who have always considered their eyesight perfect. Fortunately, we can prescribe lenses designed to help.

A person with myopia, commonly called short-sightedness, will experience blurred distance vision while being able to see clearly up close. Short-sighted people will find objects become clearer as they move closer to them. Their eyes are too long and the picture forms in front of the retina. Myopia is corrected with a lens designed to move the image back onto the retina, making distant objects clear once again. For children with myopia, we now have a myopia control clinic. New methods and technology are used to slow the progression of short sight during these important developmental years.

A person with hyperopia, also called long-sightedness, can generally see easily at any distance. However, when objects are closer, the eye has to adjust the focus because the image forms behind the retina. Generally the eye can adjust but sometimes, the eye is not powerful enough to make this special effort and the images become blurry. This effort can cause fatigue and headaches. Hyperopia requires lenses designed to converge light, relieving the headaches and visual fatigue.

If you think it’s time you had a comprehensive vision examination, you contact us. You can also email your Optometrist if you have a query or want some more information ocular health and eyesight.

I would not recommend this place to anybody. It also looks like they react to all negative feedback by blaming the customer. Regards Paula.

I have a 5 year old daughter with the need for very expensive glasses. I needed her Pupilary Distance measured. A very quick measurement but an extremely important measurement which Hawera Eyecare said they couldn't do as we weren't going to buy glasses from them - because they are so expensive ($400 per pair) Because they are the only eye specialist in Hawera we have to travel one hour to New Plymouth for Specsavers to measure - who do not have a problem at all measuring it for a few seconds for a little girl. Even though we are not buying glasses from you, we have in the past, we have spent over $1500 as a family at your establishment and I believe that entitles to customer service. Also you have a obligation to the community being the only Eyecare Shop within an hour travel. You could easily provide superb customer service there is really no excuse except that you're miserly.

Wow, wow wow. We have been clients of Hawera Eyecare for 5 years now. We tried a new and more expensive range of lenses for my daughter 18 months ago. It has been a great move with some eye sight improvement. These lenses started to delaminate so we went to order new ones. The lovely Sonya took it upon herself to challenge the manufacturer of these lenses because she was not happy with the longevity of them for what we paid. She did this with no pressure from me and it is wonderful to have such advocacy from our local optometrists. Sonya didn’t give up the challenge and we have had a positive outcome. Thank you Hawera Eyecare for your thoughtfulness and going the extra mile.
