SIGHT CHECK

Though you may not realise it, even small vision changes can affect your work performance – contributing to eye fatigue, headaches and blurred vision, which can be super-distracting and lead to loss of concentration. So, what better time to check your eyesight than returning to work and school after the summer holidays? Currently offering 50 percent off its Comprehensive Eye Exams, Bukit Timah-based will not only check your prescription but also the overall health of your eyes, and provide consultation on lens selection and eyewear options – choose from brands like Gucci, Dita, MCQ and Kate Spade, among other designer labels. Be sure to ask Clarity’s optometrists about Blue Protect lenses for computer work, Drivesafe lenses for better driving vision at night and Transition lenses for UV protection. As a designated Acuvue Experience Centre, Clarity also provides guidance for contact lens wearers. #01-22A, The Grandstand, 2002 Turf Club Road. 6463 0878 |
