🧐 MYTH BUSTER: “Wearing glasses makes your eyesight worse.”👓

❌ Nope. Not true.

This one crops up a lot – especially from people avoiding specs because they “don’t want to rely on them.” But here’s the truth:

👉 Glasses don’t weaken your eyes.
👉 They correct your vision – that’s it.
👉 If your sight gets worse over time, it’s likely just natural changes, not the glasses.

Imagine refusing to wear shoes because your feet might get lazy. Sounds daft, right? Same goes for your eyes.

If you need glasses, wear them. You’ll see better, feel better, and help avoid extra strain.

Still not sure what’s going on with your vision? Book in with us – we’re happy to clear things up.

👀 Screen time vs Eye time – are your eyes getting a fair deal?
Let’s be honest – most of us are glued to screens more than we’d like to admit.
Work, Netflix, scrolling... repeat.

But your eyes weren’t designed for 10+ hours of screen glare a day.

If you’ve been noticing:
👀 Dry or tired eyes
🤯 Headaches or blurred vision
😵‍💫 That “can’t focus properly” feeling at the end of the day...

…it might be time to give your eyes a break.

🕒 Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

And if it’s been a while since your last eye test – pop in and see us.
Your screen might not say it, but your eyes will thank you.

🌼 Hay Fever vs. Your Eyes – What You Can Do 👁️😩
Itchy, watery, red eyes? Yep… hay fever season is back.
But don’t worry — there are simple ways to protect and soothe your eyes so you can get back to enjoying summer.

Here’s what helps:

🌸 Wear wraparound sunglasses – they keep pollen out and protect against UV.
🌸 Avoid rubbing your eyes – it makes irritation worse.
🌸 Use preservative-free eye drops – they help rinse away allergens.
🌸 Apply a cold compress – soothing relief for inflamed eyes.
🌸 Shower and change clothes after being outdoors – pollen sticks to everything!
🌸 Keep windows shut during high pollen times – especially morning and early evening.

If hay fever is hitting your eyes hard this year, we can recommend tailored solutions to help you find relief.

📞 Give us a call or pop in for a chat — we’re here to help you see summer clearly.

Kids don’t always know how to describe what they’re seeing – or not seeing – so it’s important to watch out for the subtle signs.

Here are some common clues that your child might be struggling with their vision:

✅ Squinting or sitting too close to screens
✅ Frequent eye rubbing or headaches
✅ Tilting their head to see better
✅ Struggling with reading or handwriting
✅ Complaints of blurred or double vision
✅ Avoiding schoolwork or seeming easily distracted
✅ Holding books unusually close

An eye test can pick up on problems early — and in many cases, it can make a world of difference at school and at home.

📅 Regular eye checks are FREE for children under 16 on the NHS.
📍 Book your child’s appointment with us today and give them a clearer start.
