When I went to contact my optometrist I found that they were no longer there .... so to good old Google I went and found I could get Swissflex from Prevue Optometrists at Robina Town Centre.
As it was 2 years since I last had my eyes tested and hadn't had new glasses for 4 combined with the fact I spend so much of my waking day at the computer ... it seemed like a good time to make an appointment and have my eyes checked.
Making an appointment was easy I did it on line listing my preferences and received a confirmation email back very promptly.
Prevue bulk bill eye examinations so there was no charge and they have up to the minute equipment - Danny who did my examination had an amazing calming presence and is very thorough.
Due to a slight deterioration of sight in the left eye it was time to get new glasses - and there was no doubting that I'd get another pair of Swissflex - frameless and so light you don't even know your wearing them. In the past 4 years there has been an increase in shapes and colours - too many choices - I did think I could get one arm red, one white and a blue bridge and be a two eyed Western Bulldog supporter, black was too stark, no didn't want another pair of pink, red looked good, finally settled on matte burgundy.
I also learnt today that every part of Swissflex glasses is replaceable - hence my broken pink ones are now on their way to the Swissflex hospital to be repaired and kept as my 'spares'
Next time you need new glasses check out Swissflex - not a lot of Optometrists stock them so you may need to Google for one near you.
