👁️✨ September is Healthy Aging Awareness Month! ✨👁️

Your eyes are amazing — they’ve helped you see every moment of your life so far. As we age, it’s more important than ever to give them the care they deserve so they can keep working at their best.

Here are our top tips for healthy eyes as you get older:

🔹 Don’t skip your eye exams – Many eye conditions, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, can develop silently with no early symptoms. Regular check-ups are vital for early detection.

🔹 Book an OCT Scan – At Parker Opticians, we use state-of-the-art OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans to capture detailed 3D images of the retina. This lets us detect even the smallest changes in your eye health before they impact your vision.

🔹 Eat with your eyes in mind – A diet rich in leafy greens, colourful fruits, nuts, and omega-3 oils can help protect your sight.

🔹 Always wear sunglasses – Even on cloudy days, UV rays can cause long-term damage and speed up the development of cataracts and macular degeneration.

🔹 Look after your general health – Healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels protect the delicate blood vessels in your eyes.

🔹 Stay comfortable – Dry eyes become more common with age. Keep hydrated, use lubricating drops if needed, and remember to rest your eyes from screens.

💡 Want the best for your eyes? Our Eyeplan membership makes it simple and affordable to access advanced eye care, OCT scans, exclusive discounts, and the reassurance of ongoing support whenever you need it.

📅 Book your appointment today and let us help you protect your vision for the future.

👀 Parker Opticians is here to make sure your child begins 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 Parker Opticians 💙 looking after eyes for all generations.

🟡 August is Amblyopia Awareness Month

Amblyopia, or "lazy eye", affects roughly 2–3 in every 100 children—but it often goes unnoticed until it becomes harder to treat.

It develops when the brain begins to ignore the visual input from one eye, often due to a squint, an unequal prescription, or obstruction like a droopy eyelid. If caught early, amblyopia is treatable—but delay can lead to long-term vision loss.

🔎 Common signs include:

An eye that wanders inward or outward

Difficulty focusing or judging depth

Complaints of blurry vision or headaches

Holding books very close or sitting near screens

Poor coordination or frequent bumps/falls

The challenge? Children often don’t complain—because they don’t know what “normal” vision should feel like.

At Parker Opticians, we’re proud to support local families with caring, comprehensive eye care for children of all ages.

🗓️ Book a test this August to support Amblyopia Awareness Month and ensure your child’s eyes are developing as they should.
