We’ll drop hundreds of dollars a month on anti-ageing creams, hair dyes, and skincare, panicking the moment we spot a single grey hair or fine line.
With David Wright in the chair for Brent, we uncover the truth: what's actually giving away our age is our eyesight—and most of us are completely ignoring it! Over 80% of Aussies aged 40 to 59 haven't even heard of "presbyopia," with many resorting to hilarious "vanity workarounds" like stretching their arms out to read a menu. David joined by Specsavers Optometrist Joanne Hau to talk about age-related vision changes, why we delay getting help, and why booking an eye test matters more than a haircut.
The Ageing Blind Spot: Why failing eyesight ranks as a top-three ageing concern, yet 84% of middle-aged Aussies don't know the term presbyopia.
Beauty vs. Vision: Comparing our heavy spending on $17 billion worth of personal care to delaying eye tests for six months or more.
Hilarious 'Vanity Workarounds': Unpacking the tactics people use to hide fading near-vision, from T-Rex arm stretches to ordering blindly off set menus.
Social Stigma: Exploring why nearly 1 in 5 people avoid wearing glasses out of worry about social perception.
If you've been squinting at your phone or holding restaurant menus at arm's length, this is an absolute must-listen.
