Do You Need New Glasses or Lenses
Hi Everyone
It's so lovely to see the sun shining. Hope you all kept dry and warm over the past two weeks.
A little bit of news - We have decided to OPEN ON SATURDAYS BY APPOINTMENT. Just give us a call to arrange a time and we will be happy to be here. We decided that as we are a "Two Man Band" we need to look after our health and wellbeing over the winter months so decided to come in as we are needed.
Eddie is out and about delivering flyers around our University Student area. We are offering a 10% discount to all students on both Frames & Lenses so if you or your children, grandchildren or friends are studying and need new glasses please either share our Post or let them know we are here.
Remember we have a SAME DAY SERVICE on Glasses with single vision lenses. We try to have them ready in one hour for you.
Student Price - Lenses - Single Vision: From $99.00
Student Price - Frames - from $54.00 to $117.00
Even if you aren't a Student our prices are so much cheaper than elsewhere as well as our quick, efficient & friendly service so pop in and see us. Our Frames and Lenses are all top quality as well. Are you a Grey Power member? We offer a 10% discount for you as well!!
We are loving our Lab and shop and have found great satisfaction in providing you all with your glasses and doing our very best to support our local and not so local Dunedin Community. We have had customers from Balclutha and Oamaru and are pleased to help them out.
It's an easy process - Have your Eyes tested at your Optometrist & either ask for a copy of your prescription or we are happy to get it for you and then come and see us.
Have a look at our website - dunedinopticallab.nz - lots of info on there. We are also expecting new frames coming in soon.
Take care of each other and hope to see you soon. Thanks so much for all your support.
Kind Regards, Mihi Aroha

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
🚒 Our Fire and Emergency crews have been kept busy lately
And they’re once again reminding everyone: please don’t light fires when it’s windy.
Central Otago will move into a restricted fire season from 1 December 2025, which means anyone planning an outdoor fire will need to apply for a permit and plan ahead.
So we’d love to ask you — how do you make sure you’re being fire-safe at this time of year?
