Hi all.
As we all know, with the years comes some difficulties and one of these is arthritis and osteoarthritis. A debilitating and painful condition for which there is no cure.
Well we would like to share with you a product we recently discovered that has proven a god-send to both the owners of AusSpecs and their relatives as well.
The product is called synflex and it is a powerful glucosamine liquid (easy to swollow) and it is guaranteed to work and significantly reduce the pair of arthritis.
Over one million bottles of Synflex have been sold world wide. We certainly recommend Liquid Glucosamine , but you decide. Here is the address to check it out http://www.synflexaustralia.com.au

Eyeglasses for July

2011-07-23T15:17:00.000-07:00

Hi All

Been to the optical stores lately and seen the price of Rimless EyeGlasses?

You will fall off your chair because they range up to $1000. How rediculous!

This month AusSpecs is offering top quality rimless glasses with equally top quality polycarbonate lenses.

How much ? A Super cheap $88.00.... n0 tricks no gimiks just good quality single vision Rimless eyeglasses for $88.00

Why Polycarbonate lenses you ask ? Easy, the frames with Rimless glasses attach to the lens through holes drilled through the lens creating a very weak point where the lens will crack and break.

Polycarbonate on the other hand is super tough and nearly unbrakable so you will not be faced with the problem of broken lenses.

See you soon at http://www.ausspecs.com.au/
p.s. the price is for standard prescriptions. higher values will add to the cost

Reading Glasses

2011-04-10T19:41:00.000-07:00

Discussion on Reading Glasses

Question;
What are Reading Glasses ?
Answer;
Put simple Reading Glasses are Single Vision Spectacles that are manufactured to a prescription to suit your vision.
Question
Can I buy Reading Glasses from the Chemist ?
Answer.
Absolutely . If your prescription is one of a simple magnification there is no reason why not.
Question:
What are simple magnification glasses ?
Answer
On your prescription there will be ONLY a value in the ADD section and nothing else on the prescription. These are simple magnification glasses. Just be sure to get the correct magnifying lenses. e.g. if the script says +2 then that is what you want +2 magnifying glasses.
Question
What if there are other values on the prescription ?
Answer.
Then this is where you need the correct prescription glasses to suit your eyes.
Question.
What if I can still see ok with just magnification glasses.
Answer.
This is a very common statement and one to be wary of. If your eyes require proper prescription glasses and you are straining the (even without realising it ) you will be doing damage, maybe only slight to start but it is not worth the worry. AusSpecs sells Prescription Reading Glasses at such low cost there is no need to take any chances.
Question.
Can I have tinted Reading Glasses. ?
Answer.
The glasses you buy from AusSpecs, although of excellent quality, are so inexpensive that many people have a pair of reading glasses specifically made into Prescription Sunglasses to sit in the sun reading their favorite book. This is much better for the health of your eyes than the reflected sunlight from a bright white page of a book.
Questions.
How far is the reading distance?
Answer.
The industry average is about 40cm from your eyes to your book. This can vary so ensure that you optometrist measures this distance for you.
Question;
Can I have Reading Glasses and Distance glasses together in one frame.
Answer:
Yes certainly but these glasses are called multi-focals or Progressives or even No Line Bifocals.
Question :
Can I have Reading Glasses and Computer Glasses in the same Lens
Answer ;
Again, yes these are certainly available but they are also multifocals of sorts but the distance porting of the lens is set to the computer distance (normally around 80cm)
Question;
How do I choose the right frame for my Reading Glasses?
Answer:
That one is an easy. Just measure your current glasses and choose pretty much the same sizes and shape from the hundreds of glasses on offer on the Ausspecs website.
Question:
What are the lenses made of ?
Answer:
Today the vast majority of lenses are made of a plastic material known as CR39 although quickly becoming very popular are the lenses made for Polycarbonate. Although the Poly lenses can be made photochromic the option of standard tinting is not so easy. In this case the molecular structure of the polycarbonate is tightly bound together thus making adhesion of a tinted layer very difficult.
Question;
Do they protect me against Ultra Violet Light
Answer;
The UV rating on all AusSpecs Reading Glasses 99% or better so this should be of no concern.

Federal Government Tells Health Funds - Do Not Pay

2011-02-24T19:02:00.000-08:00

The Federal Government and the Health Funds :

The Australian Federal Government recently issued an directive to the Health Funds not to pay benefits to their members for treatment or medical aids (including Prescription Glasses) procured overseas or on the internet from Companies not based in Australia.

The apparent reason behind the directive is to keep Australian Health Dollars in the Australian Health System and not line the pockets of large overseas hospitals and online marketers.

AusSpecs is an Australian based company and not affected by this rule.

In fact we are now Registered Optical Providers to virtually all of the Major Health Funds.

Those websites pretending to be Australian in origin will fall foul of this new law and the losers will be the clients that buy products or have surgical procedures performed overseas, expecting to be able to claim only to be told they are not!

If you need Prescription Glasses or Prescription Sunglasses and can claim from your Health Fund the visit us at www.ausspecs.com.au

AusSpecs and Multifocal Eyeglasses

What are Multi-Focals ? AKA Progressive lenses and No Line Bifocals

Us Old timers always knew then as Multi-Focals because they effectively have a multiple of areas in the lens that allow us to see clearly. They are often confused with Tri-focal's
but this is not the case

The same is true for what we now call Progressive lenses.

As the name suggests these lenses allow for clear viewing progressing from Distance Viewing at the top to Reading at the bottom of the lens with a small area in the center for Intermediate Viewing

The following Flash Presentation on the Reading, Intermediate and Distance focal points of the Multifocal Lens shows how limited we really are in the viewing area of the lens and also points out that
those that are expecting to don a pair of Multi-focal eyeglasses and see as clearly and as easily as we did as kids are often disappointed.

A Practical Look Through Multi-focal Eyeglasses

For a better view of this graphic please visit The AusSpecs Web Site

Can everyone wear Multi-Focals ?

No not all people are suited to wearing these types of prescription glasses.

One of the most common reasons is that with multifocals you need to turn your head to focus on an object rather than just move your eyes.

This takes some getting used to and some re-training of the brain before it becomes second nature. There are other, also medical reason for not being able to wear progressive lenses but fortunately
the vast majority of us that need them can get used to them eventually.

The quality of the Eyeglass Lens is also a very important factor. Only use manufacturers you trust or have been recommended to.

If you are at all concerned the bright side is that it is far better to pay the very cheap prices at www.ausspecs.com.au for excellent quality Multi-focals and find you cant wear them than the hugely expensive prices in the retail stores !

Tri-Focal's

Tri-focal's should not be confused with Multi-focals although this is often the case. Tri-focal's have 3 very different and distinct focal points on the lens and are usually separated by a visible line
between the focal areas. Only a few manufacturers offer this option nowadays

Computer Glasses

Computer glasses consist primarily to let you read both a book and the computer screen with little movement of the head (providing your monitor is setup correctly.

In the past we have only have the option of either Multi-focals (which have a very small Intermediate Viewing area) or Bifocals (which sort of do the job but not exceptionally well).

Clearly a new lens was required for this application and it had to fulfill the requirement to have wide viewing areas for both reading documents and the computer screen. It also had to be specifically
focused on the distance value (normally around 80cm) a person sat from the screen and they had to get rid of the pesky line across the lens.

Fortunately this has now been achieved by manufactures of e.g. the Access Lenses and others so we can all see that little bit better.

Looking for cheap eyeglasses in Australia. Here is some really good advice !

There seems to be a massive misconception in Australia with regard to Prescription Spectacles.

Australians seem to believe that when you get your eyes checked at the local Optometrist you must buy your glasses from the same store in which the Optometrist works.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

An Optometrist is first and foremost a professional entrusted as your "Eye Doctor" and gets paid either by you or by the Government to examine your eyes and write a prescription (if required) for glasses to correct any vision problems (if appropriate). Thats All.

The Good Advice

When visiting the Optometrist think of them as your doctor who, after examining you writes you a prescription. You can take your prescription to any Chemist to have it filled. Do Not feel obliged to buy your glasses from the retail store in which they operate. You may pay dearly for it .

A Big Hello from AusSpecs

2009 Newsletter

As the year draws to a close we wanted to say hello, thank you for your support in the past years plus bring you up to date with what is happening and what has happened in the past year.

The Strong Aussie Dollar : This is a huge bonus considering that virtually all optical frames sold in Australia are imported from overseas (mostly China) so with the dollar in the nineties we are really happy to pass on the savings to you, our valued clients.

Current Specials : We know you are busy and may not wish to read all of this newsletter so here are the current specials in case this is of interest.

**** Current Super Special ****

Reading or Distance glasses from $38.00

2 Pair (Various Frames) for ONLY $88.00*

2 pair multifocal frames for ONLY $88.00* Plus Lenses

Discount Code : As an existing customer of Ausspecs you should already have the 10% "welcome_back" discount code as a thank you for buying your glasses from AusSpecs. This code is still active and you are very welcome to make use of it.

It has all happened in 2009

Special News : We are really pleased to announce our Sydney NSW Operation! Things are running smoothly although I have to say that they are still pretty hectic, but we are having fun!

600 frames and colours: Yes over 600 frames and different colours to choose from. This now gives you the biggest selection in Aus. We have also fixed a shortcoming by having a large range of Childrens glasses and yes, we now have Polarized Prescription Lenses for the fisherpersons.

Client Feedback : We have had some wonderful feedback from you which is fantastic. This feedback is so important to us as it tells us that we are on (or off) track plus it lets the skeptics know that AusSpecs can be a trusted supplier of your next pair of prescription Glasses.

Prices Drop : As mentioned above, while others have raised their prices we have reduced ours due to the high Australian Dollar and we have passed this on to our clients. It is our stated goal to be the cheapest in Australia and at the same time have the best quality glasses around.

Total Revamp ; The website is constantly evolving as we strive to make things easier and quicker for our clients. Sometime it works well (sometimes not so well) but we think we you will be happy with the current version. Even with 600 frames we hope you will find it a simple matter to find the ones you want.

Brand Name Frames : Having done a deal with the suppliers of Nile, Lorie, Rhine and Parana we can now offer these Brand Named Glasses at a cost you will not believe.

There are some fabulous frames from just $49.50 and this still includes lenses !

Brand Name Sunglasses Dropped : Before putting these into stock a year ago we tossed and turned over whether they were worthwhile. Well the latter won out as you voiced your opinion stongly against the silliness of hundreds of dollars for a plastic frame with a name on it when we have heaps on the site just as good looking. So out the door they went.

From the Boss :

Hello

On behalf of all the staff I just want to pass on my sincere thanks to you for your support over the past year and hope that we can continue to assist in saving you huge amounts of money when it comes to buying prescription spectacles for years to come.

Wow what a year in the optical Industry!

No doubt you have seen the battle of the giants with the major players going head to head with Spec Savers. It is fabulous for the Australian public that have been paying through the nose for decades.

Perhaps now our Health Funds can put the money saved to good use rather than spending it on overpriced spectacle frames. Maybe lower premiums...now that would that be nice.

Of course,the best bit is that AusSpecs is still miles in front on price and equal on quality so we will still be here long after the dust settles.

In a recent survey on the site it is unbelievable the number of people that answered "a friend" to the question on how they heard about AusSpecs. Really, a big big thank you for spreading the word, please keep it up !

Well, thank you again and please have a safe and happy Christmas period !

Discount Prescription Glasses Online by AusSpecs

With the repealing of the Optical Dispensing Laws in most states of Australia the Optical retail market has been opened up for direct competition to the Retail Chains that dominate the industry in Australia.

These laws were seen for what they were in that they fostered a closed shop mentality and produced an environment where the average Australian believed that a pair of standard, no frills prescription glasses was a very expensive item with a starting price in the 100's of dollars.

With the introduction of web based optical stores the message is slowly filtering out about the true cost of the product.

For the net savvy of course, people have been buying overseas for many years but this has never carried such things as the safe guards under the Trade Practices Act and Fair Trading regulations that Australia businesses are legally bound by. There are many sad stories to be told where satisfaction was by no means guaranteed.

As with any deregulation there will always be the cowboys and tricksters offering fake Brand Named Designer Glasses or so called Quality product at a super cheap price, long on promises and short on quality and delivery so it is important to do some homework and always buy from an Australia based site with a reputation.

It has not been an easy road to achieve an impeccable reputation such that AusSpecs enjoys for quality at a realistic price. Much hard work, subversion and threats from within the industry have been faced and overcome to bring the AusSpecs site to you. We can now boast years of service to thousands of satisfied customers with genuine (as opposed to fictitious) customer feedback to support the fact that the quality of our eyeglasses are second to none.

In defense of some of the operators in the optical industry it is unrealistic to castigate them all to the point of calling them rip-off merchants and worse as some sensationalists Entrepreneurs on some Online Glasses Web sites will attest.

It is an easy thing to sit back and denigrate the Optical stores for overpriced products and ripping off the consumer but at the end of the day those businesses have massive overheads that have to be met so as to be available when needed by their customers. Only the naive will believe that this is specific to the optical industry. Such is the price of retail service but now there is a better way.

The vast majority of Health Funds were happy to endorse reputable online optical dispensers for the simple reason that their members benefited substantially from the reduced cost and because the members were happy with the quality of the product received.

Some Health Funds, on the other hand, for reasons best known to themselves, choose to reject online optical dispensers and the inherent savings even at the protests of members themselves. At the end of the day however, the members will obviously make their judgment known through their chequebook.

By choosing AusSpecs as your optical provider you are assured of a quality product and guarantee of satisfaction and as can be seen from the comments of clients past the quality of our glasses is second to none.
