With winter approaching and the nights getting darker, driving can become more challenging — especially with the glare from bright car headlights.

EnRoute lenses are designed to make night driving clearer and more comfortable. They combine high-definition lens technology with an advanced anti-reflective coating. The Glare Filter reduces high-energy visible light from LED and Xenon headlights, streetlights, and dashboard displays, significantly cutting glare. It also minimises distracting reflections while improving contrast and brightness perception in low-light conditions.

For more information, please call us on 01245 322114.

Did you know?
Over 40% of people over 50 in the UK have some degree of hearing loss — but many don’t realise it.

Because it often happens gradually, the signs can be easy to miss. Common symptoms include:

- Frequently asking people to repeat themselves

- Turning the TV up louder than others prefer

- Struggling to hear clearly on the phone

- Finding conversations in groups or noisy places is difficult

- Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)

- Avoiding social situations due to hearing difficulties

If you recognise any of these signs, it’s time to turn to Dee — our qualified audiologist — for expert support and care.
