😴 World Sleep Day – Friday 13th March 2026

Do your eyes feel dry, tired, or strained after a long day on screens? You’re not alone. Too much screen time and poor sleep habits can contribute to eye fatigue, irritation, and disrupted sleep quality.

On World Sleep Day, it’s a great reminder to give your eyes the rest they deserve. Simple habits like reducing screen time before bed, blinking regularly, and making sure your prescription is up to date can make a big difference to both eye comfort and sleep quality.

If your eyes often feel tired or strained, it might be time for an eye test.

March is Brain Tumour Awareness Month 💛

Some brain tumours can affect vision, so it’s worth knowing what to look out for.

If you notice any of the following - especially if they’re new, getting worse, or persistent - speak to your GP or healthcare professional:

• Changes to vision (blurred/double vision, loss of vision, new blind spots)
• Frequent or worsening headaches (especially mornings)
• Nausea or vomiting with headaches
• Seizures (even a first-time seizure)
• New problems with balance, speech, memory, or personality changes

A routine eye examination can sometimes pick up signs that need further investigation - and if you’re worried about your eyes, we’re here to help.

🟣 Did you know February is AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month? 👁️💜

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common causes of reduced vision, affecting central vision — the bit you use for reading, recognising faces, and seeing fine detail.

✅ Early signs to look out for:
• Straight lines looking wavy or distorted
• Blurred or patchy vision in the centre
• Needing brighter light to read
• Struggling with fine detail (even with glasses)

If you’ve noticed any changes, don’t ignore them - early checks matter, and there’s support available to help you stay confident and independent.
