Want your glasses to last longer?

Taking care of your spectacles can keep them in great shape. Here are a few tips to ensure your glasses last longer:

- Clean carefully: Use a microfibre cloth and lens cleaner to avoid
scratches.

- Store properly: Always keep your glasses in a protective case
when not in use.

- Avoid extreme temperatures: Never leave your glasses in direct sunlight or in a hot car.

- Check the fit: If your frames feel loose or uncomfortable, bring them in for an adjustment.

Always on the move? Photochromic glasses are designed to keep up with you.

Their smart lenses react to changing light conditions, darkening outdoors and returning to clear when you head inside. That means no more juggling between glasses and sunglasses.

Stay UV protected and comfortable wherever the day takes you. 😎

Poor vision can make it harder to spot hazards, judge distances, and see clearly at night when driving, raising the risk for you and others on the road.

Some signs your vision might not be road-ready:

- Difficulty reading road signs
- Struggling with night driving
- Blurry number plates

By UK law, you must be able to read a car number plate from 20 metres away with glasses or contacts if needed to drive legally.

If you’re unsure, book an eye exam so our optometrists can assess your vision and provide an up-to-date prescription to help you drive safely and confidently.

Is your child ready for the new school year?

Squinting, headaches, or sitting too close to screens could mean they're struggling with their vision. Conditions like short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or lazy eye often go unnoticed, but early detection is key to protecting their eye health and ensuring they thrive.

Book their eye test now and kickstart the term with confidence.

Believe it or not, crying isn't simply a healthy emotional response. Tears play an important role in
supporting healthy eyesight.

There are three different types of tears, which all have benefits:

💧Basal tears
These tears are always in your eyes, to keep them
from getting dry

💧Reflex tears
These appear when your eyes become irritated, for example by smoke or when cutting onions

💧Emotional tears
These are produced when you feel intense emotions, and offer a healthy relief from stress

How do you know which glasses will suit you? With so many options available, it can be a tricky choice. Do you snap a quick selfie and send it to a friend for advice? Or go for the latest promotion or sale? Campbell Eyecare is sharing 3 expert tips for discovering your 'perfect pair.'

1. Shopping for eyewear at a high street opticians often means being presented with a wall of frame options - which you're asked to choose from on the spot. Go in armed with knowledge - research the kinds of shapes, styles and colours you like in advance to help narrow down your options. Take your time - if you feel overwhelmed by choice, ask the associate for help. While many larger chains don't offer a styling service, smaller and independent opticians like Campbell Eyecare have a trained member of staff on hand who can expertly recommend a frame style that will suit you based on your preferences and face shape. If your optician isn't equipped to help you narrow down your options or seems pressured to get you to make a quick decision - ask yourself why.

2. Reviews and influencer opinions are great for finding out what's available, but ask yourself whether their preferences really reflect your own. Quite often these collaborations are part of a marketing pitch or promotion. Each person has unique and individual eyewear needs. Be sure the frames are the right ones for you by having a consultation and taking professional advice to make the right decision.

3. Friends and family members are often the first people we ask when we feel out of depth and a struggling to make a decision. But are they the ones who will wear your glasses every day? Do they know what will really suit you - or are they likely to advise you based on their own preferences? Beware the pitfalls of other people's opinions, whether it be on the spot or online - the safest choice is to seek out options based on your own individual taste, and with expert guidance based on experience and insider knowledge.

We've put together a guide containing all these tips and many more - specifically crafted to tell you the truth about the designer eyewear industry and help you make an informed choice. Find styles that will really suit you - claim your FREE copy of our eyewear styling guide today.

If you're bothered by smudgy marks on your lenses, you're not alone! But did you know the way you clean your glasses might be damaging them? Read on for Campbell Eyecare's 3 tips for keeping your specs clean and in great condition.

1. Avoid using tissue paper, kitchen paper or clothing such as your sleeve to wipe your lenses. While these materials may appear soft, they're actually quite abrasive, and can leave tiny micro scratches on your lenses that over time can accumulate and affect clarity.
2. A microfibre cloth is the best tool to keep your glasses clean. This material is made specially to clean glass that is sensitive to scratches such as glasses and camera lenses. Be sure to keep this somewhere dust-free so that it doesn't transfer dust to your lenses!
4. Avoid chemical cleaners that aren't designed for glasses. Not only are these dangerous to have the residue of near your eyes, but ammonia in some cleaning products can damage any special costing your lenses might have. Things like screen cleaners aren't appropriate for glasses lenses - instead opt for a specially formulated lens cleaning solution which you can buy in a convenient spray bottle - or even just plain water.
Your optician can give you the best advice on cleaning or any other aspect of your eyewear's care and maintenance. Speak to one of our expect team at Campbell Eyecare in or for more information about keeping your specs clean and scratch-free.

We all want to look dazzling on a daily basis, but if you've ever been bothered the reflections on your lenses in photos or on video calls and wondered if there is a way to reduce it, look no further. This week Campbell Eyecare are sharing our 3 tips for getting rid of the glare.

1. Eyeglass glare is caused when light reflects on the surface of your lenses. The angle that the light hits is key here. If you're striving for the perfect selfie and can't get rid of the glare, try changing the angle of your head slightly until the light no longer reflects. Tilting your chin down slightly can often be enough to eliminate glare. Angle yourself away from any nearby light sources and adjust your positioning until you no longer see the troublesome reflections.

2. Struggling with glare on video calls? Often the largest source of light in this scenario is the monitor itself. Try reducing your monitor's brightness. Increasing ambient light can help - if it's dim around you, try increasing the amount of light to reduce the intensity of reflections from your monitor.

3. If glare is a real issue for you, consider lenses with an anti-reflection coating. These are designed to stop light from bouncing off your lenses, letting it pass through freely and almost completely eliminating the appearance of reflections. These have the added bonus of stopping light from scattering as it passes through your lenses, helping you focus on it more clearly and reducing your need to squint.

Want to learn even more about anti-glare and other specialist lens coatings? Check out our article where we discuss the benefits of specialist lenses including Nikon Lenswear's SeeCoat Drive and the blue-light filtering SeeCoat UV Blue range. As always, check in with Campbell Eyecare for advice about lens coatings and which solution is right for you.
