Ever wondered what vision looks like with cataracts? 👁️

Cataracts make the eye’s natural lens cloudy, which can cause blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. They usually develop slowly over time as proteins build up in the lens, and can be linked to ageing, UV exposure, smoking, or even genetics.

If you’ve noticed changes in your sight, it’s important not to brush them off. Reach out to our team for advice and support.

Glasses sliding down your nose all the time? 😅

It’s a common problem and the good news is that it’s usually a quick fix. Most loose frames just need a small adjustment to sit comfortably and stay in place.

Pop in and let us take a look. We’ll make sure your glasses fit just right so you can get back to clear, comfortable vision.

Are all children ready to read by age 6?

False! Every child develops at their own pace, and visual skills play a huge role in reading readiness.

Some children may need extra time or support to strengthen their eyesight before they can fully engage with books. If your little one struggles with reading, it could be a vision issue - not just a learning delay!

Visit us in-practice for expert advice on children’s vision care and make sure your child is set up for success.

Back to work after your holidays?

If your eyes are feeling the strain from being back at your desk, a few simple setup tweaks can make all the difference.

💡 Use soft, natural lighting where possible and steer clear of overhead glare
🖥️ Keep your screen at arm’s length with the top positioned just below eye level
⏱️ Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds

Your workspace should work for your eyes, not against them!

Do your spectacle lenses distort your appearance?

For many spectacle wearers, strong prescription lenses can be thicker. Sometimes this can distort your facial features - making the eyes appear unnaturally large or smaller.

Seiko Ultra-Thin lenses are here to help. These ultra-slim lenses are thinner, reduce magnification, and are more comfortable to wear, giving you a clear and stylish look without the weight on your face helping restore a more natural appearance.

Ask us in-practice about Seiko Ultra-Thin spectacle lenses and feel the difference for yourself.

Want your glasses to last longer?

Taking care of your spectacles can keep them in great shape. Here are a few tips to ensure your glasses last longer:

- Clean carefully: Use a microfibre cloth and lens cleaner to avoid
scratches.

- Store properly: Always keep your glasses in a protective case
when not in use.

- Avoid extreme temperatures: Never leave your glasses in direct sunlight or in a hot car.

- Check the fit: If your frames feel loose or uncomfortable, bring them in for an adjustment.
