👁️✨ September is Healthy Aging Awareness Month! ✨👁️

Did you know your eyes age just like the rest of your body? The good news is there are simple steps you can take to keep them healthy and protect your vision for years to come.

Here are our top tips for looking after your eyes as you get older:

🔹 Have regular eye exams – Many age-related eye conditions (like glaucoma and macular degeneration) don’t cause symptoms in the early stages. Regular eye tests help us catch these changes early.

🔹 Book an OCT Scan – At Belper Opticians, we use advanced OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans to see beneath the surface of your retina, giving us a detailed 3D view of your eye health. It’s one of the best ways to detect problems before they affect your vision.

🔹 Eat for your eyes – A diet rich in leafy greens, colourful vegetables, and omega-3s helps protect your retina and reduce the risk of conditions like AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

🔹 Wear sunglasses – Protecting your eyes from UV light reduces your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.

🔹 Manage overall health – Keeping blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar under control helps protect the tiny blood vessels in your eyes.

🔹 Stay hydrated & rest your eyes – Dry eyes become more common with age. Drinking water and taking screen breaks can help.

💡 Want ongoing care and peace of mind? Our Eyeplan membership makes looking after your eyes affordable, with inclusive appointments, discounts on glasses, and the reassurance of advanced care when you need it most.

📅 Book your next eye test today and let’s keep your vision healthy for a lifetime.

👀 Belper Opticians is here to help your child start the new school year with the clearest vision possible – book their eye test today!

Good vision is essential for a child’s learning 📚 confidence 🌟 and overall wellbeing ❤️ From clearly seeing the whiteboard to reading comfortably and joining in during sports ⚽ eyesight plays a huge role in their ability to learn and enjoy school life.

Around 1 in 5 school-aged children has an undetected vision problem and many children don’t even realise they are not seeing clearly. They may think everyone sees the same way. Common problems include short-sightedness (myopia) long-sightedness (hyperopia) astigmatism and lazy eye (amblyopia). Conditions like lazy eye are much easier to treat when detected early so the sooner it is picked up the better.

Signs that your child may have a vision problem can include squinting or closing one eye to see better frequent eye rubbing or blinking holding books or devices very close difficulty concentrating on schoolwork complaints of headaches or tired eyes and even struggling with sports or ball games. But remember not all vision issues have obvious symptoms which is why a sight test is the only reliable way to be sure.

Our children’s eye tests are friendly gentle and tailored to your child’s age. We use simple engaging charts and activities to assess their vision while also checking the overall health of their eyes. The test is completely painless ✅ and usually takes less than 30 minutes.

The summer holidays ☀️ are the perfect time to book before the rush of the new school term. Clear vision will help your child start September ready to learn focus and thrive.

Best of all it’s free — NHS-funded eye tests are available for all under-16s and under-19s in full-time education.

📅 Book your child’s appointment now at Belper Opticians 🏠 caring for your family’s vision.

🟣 August is Amblyopia Awareness Month

Did you know that amblyopia (lazy eye) is the most common cause of vision problems in children—and it often develops without any noticeable symptoms?

Amblyopia happens when one eye doesn’t develop proper vision, usually because the brain starts to favour the stronger eye. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss in the weaker eye.

🔍 Watch for signs like:

One eye turning in or out (a squint)

Tilting the head or covering one eye

Difficulty judging distances or clumsiness

Complaints of blurry vision or tired eyes

Sitting close to screens or struggling at school

The problem? Many children don’t realise there’s an issue—and parents can’t always spot it either. That’s why regular eye tests are essential, especially between the ages of 3 and 7.

At Belper Opticians, we provide gentle, friendly children’s eye exams using equipment tailored for young eyes.

🗓️ This August, book an appointment and help raise awareness for amblyopia—because early detection really does change outcomes.

🌍✨ We had a lovely visit today from Emily Swinfield, who popped into Belper Opticians wearing a big smile and even bigger purpose!

We're proud to sponsor Emily in her inspiring journey as part of the Rams in Kenya 2025 humanitarian trip, organised by Derby County Community Trust. Through this incredible project, Emily will be helping improve schools and communities in the slum areas of Nakuru, Kenya - supporting education, sanitation, and infrastructure for those who need it most.

Earlier this year, Emily swam the equivalent of the English Channel (22 miles!) and raised over £600 towards her fundraising goal. We’re thrilled to be part of her mission and can't wait to hear all about the impact she’ll make.

You can support her too! Visit her JustGiving page here:
