We've all had those 'glasses off, sunglasses on' dances when stepping outside, right? It's like a weird eyewear version of musical chairs! May we introduce you to Sensity Light Adaptive Lenses by Hoya Lens UK Ltd.

Picture this: You step out of your favourite café, and bam! The sun decides to throw a radiant party. Cue the magic of HOYA Sensity lenses - they darken within seconds, shielding your peepers from the glaring UV rays. It's like having your own personal sunshield, no effort required.

Now, here's the best part - when you're back indoors, these lenses swiftly return to their clear state, as if to say, "We got you, no more 'are my sunglasses still on my head?' moments." It's like having a loyal sidekick that adapts to your every move.

The school holidays are a great time to tick off those appointments that are hard to squeeze in during term time. Between buying new shoes and checking uniforms still fit, it’s easy to overlook one thing that makes a big difference - your child’s eye test.

Good vision supports learning, confidence and independence. Some signs of vision problems are easy to miss, especially in younger children, who may not realise their sight isn’t as clear as it should be.

A routine eye test can help spot any issues early and set them up for a good start in the new school year. Drop into practice or give us a call to book your appointment.

The time of year doesn’t change how often you should have your eyes tested - most people are advised to book a routine eye test every two years. However, if you notice any changes to your vision or discomfort in bright light, it’s worth getting checked sooner.

Summer can highlight problems you might not notice in lower light - like glare sensitivity or dry eyes - especially if you’re spending more time outdoors or working in air-conditioned spaces. Regular tests help keep your vision in check and protect against longer-term issues.

If it’s been a while since your last test, summer could be the perfect reminder.

If you’re thinking about reducing plastic waste this July, your eyewear choices can make a difference too.

At Chapman Opticians, we’re proud to supply frames from ECO Eyewear - a brand that puts sustainability at the heart of its design. Their frames are made from 95% recycled metal or biobased materials derived from castor seeds, reducing reliance on virgin plastic without compromising on quality or style.

Eco Eyewear also plants a tree for every frame sold and offers a recycling programme for old frames, helping to close the loop on waste.
Small switches can have a big impact, and eyewear is a great place to start!

With school summer holidays on our doorstep, we know children are likely to spend more time outdoors - whether at the park, in the garden or at the beach. While sunshine and fresh air are great for their overall wellbeing, it’s important to remember their eyes need care too.

Children’s eyes are more sensitive to UV rays than adults’, and prolonged exposure without protection can increase the risk of long-term damage. A wide-brimmed hat, time in the shade, and a good pair of UV-blocking sunglasses (ideally CE or British Standard marked) can go a long way.

Keeping an eye on screen time during down days is also worthwhile. Giving their eyes a regular break - especially during long car journeys or indoor gaming sessions - helps reduce strain.

Summer should be all about fun, but a little awareness can help ensure it’s healthy too.

Can my eyes get sunburnt?! Yes! Just like your skin, your eyes can suffer from sunburn too. This is called photokeratitis, and it can cause redness, pain, blurred vision, and even temporary blindness.

Long-term UV exposure can also increase your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and eye cancer—so protecting your eyes is just as important as protecting your skin!

The good news? A good pair of UV protection sunglasses can help keep your eyes safe. Look for 100% UVA & UVB protection or a UV400 label.

The school holidays are upon us which makes it the perfect time to book in a routine eye check for you and your family.

We recommend scheduling your child’s first comprehensive eye test at around the age of three, and then regularly thereafter, especially before starting school. Our friendly optometrists are experienced in working with kids of all ages, creating a comfortable and engaging environment to put your child at ease during the examination.
