🎄✨ Thank You!✨🎄

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Christmas raffle in aid of Pregnancy Sickness Support 💕

Thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing £485 for this incredible charity, which provides vital support, information, and advocacy for women and families affected by severe pregnancy sickness such as HG. Their work makes a real difference at a time when support is so desperately needed.

We are so grateful to our wonderful patients and the many local businesses who bought tickets for such a worthy cause. A special shout-out to our lovely neighbours Lazy Jacks for generously donating a second prize - thank you! 🎁

Your kindness and community spirit mean everything. 💖

Proud Moment!

Say hello to our very own Leanne, featured in this month’s Optometry Today- one of our industry’s most-read journals! 👓📖

We’re incredibly proud and so grateful to call her one of our own. 💛

Here’s to many more milestones, Leanne! 🌟

✨ Silhouette Day Highlights! ✨

A day for luxury, style and a whole lot of trying on gorgeous glasses!

We sipped on mulled wine & prosecco, indulged in festive mince pies, and treated everyone to goody bags while showcasing some truly stunning Silhouette pieces including 23ct gold and diamond frames and exquisite, sustainably sourced horn designs. Pure elegance. ✨

There was also some buzz around the Meta AI glasses which were pretty handy for filming parts of this reel! 🤓🎥

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special. We really are so lucky to have such an amazing community around us ✨💫

✨ The night that worlds collided ✨

The London Nuance Launch was so much more than just a product unveiling — it was a groundbreaking collaboration that brought together hundreds of specialists from both optometry and audiology. The atmosphere was electric, and the passion for innovation truly hair-raising! ⚡️

The potential of these glasses to transform lives is beyond what we could ever have imagined. We were incredibly honoured to be invited to take the stage (Lynne and Jackie) as key opinion leaders for optometry, representing The Optical People. We are one of UK’s most successful practices since Nuance became available and we are so grateful to our wonderful patients who have taken the leap of faith into this cutting edge tech 👓💫

We are so thankful for the opportunity, completely inspired by the future of vision and hearing, and — most importantly — unbelievably moved by the incredible feedback from our patients whose lives have been changed by this technology. ❤️

Training just hit a whole new level 😎
We spent the morning diving into the Oakley Meta Vanguard — smart eyewear that tracks your stats, plays your tunes, reads your messages, and even records wildlife and sunsets completely hands-free… all while looking seriously epic.
Built for those who never slow down- sweat-proof, seamless, and next-level smart. Definitely one for the Christmas list!
