A little uplifting quote to get us all through the afternoon;

“Not every part of today has to be extraordinary for it to be worthwhile. A quiet step forward is still progress.”

Hope the rest of your day gives you at least one small thing to smile about.

Today is World Health Day 🌍 and this year we're shining a light on something close to our hearts - your eyes.

Did you know that over 1 billion people worldwide live with preventable vision loss? A regular eye test doesn't just check your sight - it can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, and high blood pressure too.

Your eyes are your window to the world. Looking after them is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health.

Recent headlines about driving eyesight in older adults have understandably left some people feeling uneasy.

At Seddons Opticians we believe reassurance comes from knowledge and proper assessment, not fear.

If you’re over 70 and wondering whether your vision is still right for driving — or if you’ve noticed changes such as glare, blur, or reduced confidence — an eye test can help put your mind at ease.

💙 We’re here to listen, explain, and support you.

🥶 Anyone else’s eyes streaming the moment they step outside?

With this freezing weather and icy winds, we’ve had lots of people mentioning watery, stinging, irritated eyes — especially when going from cold outdoors straight into heated rooms.

It might sound odd, but watering eyes are often a sign of dry eyes, as the surface of the eye becomes irritated and over-reacts.

A few winter eye tips:
• Try to shield your eyes from cold wind
• Take regular breaks from screens
• Stay hydrated (your eyes need it too!)

If your eyes are feeling uncomfortable, gritty, or constantly watering, it’s worth getting them checked — especially in weather like this.

Stay warm everyone ❄️👀

Quick New Year check-in 👀

Has anyone else noticed their eyes feeling more tired since routines kicked back in — more screens, more reading, more driving?

We’re seeing a lot of people locally mentioning:
• dry, irritated or gritty eyes
• headaches or eye strain
• children struggling more with distance or screens than expected

Often it’s only when the new year starts that these things become noticeable.

If you’re unsure whether it’s time for an eye test (or whether symptoms are just “normal”), feel free to comment or message — we’re always happy to advise.

If you already know you’re due, appointments can be booked here:
