We are mesmerised when we see a magician conjur a magic act. The better the performer, the better is his ability to cast an illusion. “I see it, but I don’t believe it” is an expression we all hear and use when we see such an artist perform his act. What he is really doing [...]

Top Seven Confessions of a Contact Lens Wearer
Posted on Thursday, 4 August, 2011
After 25 years of practising optometry, I am pleased that disposable lenses are worn by 95% of patients at Optical FX. We see significantly fewer contact lens related infections to the eye than we did with regular contact lenses and the old style storage cases. Disposable lenses do not require the same amount of attention [...]

Many thanks to our friends who showed care and concern during the floods and afterwards with clean up. No one escaped exposure and we all saw and witnessed first hand its devastation.

Italian Week at Optical FX
Posted on Tuesday, 5 April, 2011
Vanni frames are distinctly Italian; the bold colours, shapes and attention to design are how these frames differ from other brands. Sounds like describing a car? Well, almost. In fact, they are created by former Alfa Romeo sports car designers and built with quality and flair.
