Year 1 students at Gonville School know all about looking after their eyes.
Thursday morning saw Wanganui optometrist John Mellsop at the school to help the nine students brush-up on their eye protection while reading, working on the computer and playing safe.
Each of the children received a free pairof sunglasses which they immediately donned for a picture in the bright morning sun.
