The majority of Australians fail to get annual eye checks. They only do it when their bad eyesight becomes impossible to ignore… after their eyes have worked overtime to correct themselves, leading to unnecessary and irreversible damage. Instead of telling people they need to get their eyes checked, we showed them, with eye tests, that only those who can’t see can see. Using optical illusions that are only visible with blurry vision, this world-first campaign hides eye tests within 1001 Optometry’s own ads. The campaign works on two levels. Those with poor eyesight are given a direct prompt to get their eyes checked, and those with correct eyesight will see stylish preventive glasses they can purchase in their stores.
