Most of us spend hours looking at screens every day — phones, laptops, TVs. It's just part of modern life. But long hours on screens can leave our eyes feeling tired and strained.

Here's a few things that can help:

👁️ Take regular breaks — the 20-20-20 rule is a good one
👁️ Adjust your screen brightness to match the room
👁️ Blink more consciously (we blink less when we're focused on a screen)
👁️ Keep your screen at a comfortable distance — roughly arm's length

Small adjustments, but they add up over the course of a day.

Cataracts are one of the most common vision changes as we age, yet several misconceptions still surround them.

Subtle changes in the lens of the eye can begin much earlier than most people realise. Waiting for your vision to significantly deteriorate before seeking advice is no longer the clinical standard. Modern optometry focuses on proactive monitoring to protect your quality of life, driving safety, and daily comfort.

At Vickery & Utteridge, our advanced diagnostic technology allows us to detect and track these subtle structural changes long before they impact your vision. 🩺

Take control of your long-term eye health today.

Understanding how diabetes affects your overall health is so important, and that includes your eyes 👁️

Conditions like diabetic retinopathy can develop when high blood sugar levels affect the tiny blood vessels in the retina, which may lead to vision problems if not picked up early.

What makes it tricky is that these changes often don’t have noticeable symptoms at first, which is why regular eye examinations are so important.

If you have any concerns or would like to get your eyes checked, feel free to get in touch, we’re always here to help.

Half term is the perfect time to tick a few things off the list, including your child’s eye test 📚

With exams approaching, clear vision can make a real difference to how comfortably and confidently children can focus and perform at school. If there are any underlying issues, picking them up early can help avoid unnecessary challenges later on.

If it’s been a while since their last check, now’s a great time to book an appointment and make sure they’re fully prepared and supported.

Plastic vs. Glass Lenses 👓

Our Dispensing Optician, Avni, explains why lens material matters for your daily comfort:

- Glass: Heavy and prone to cracking—a choice from 20 years ago that’s now rarely recommended.
- Polycarbonate: Common in many shops, but often lacks the crisp visual clarity you need.
- Plastic: Our top recommendation. They are lightweight, durable, and available in ultra-thin options for a sleek look and high clarity.

Don't settle for "standard" vision. Visit us in Chingford to find your perfect fit! ✨

With here, it’s a great reminder to protect yourself from UV exposure, especially as we spend more time outdoors in the brighter, longer days ☀️

Sun safety isn’t just about your skin, your eyes need protection too. UV rays can cause dryness and glare, and over time may lead to more serious issues. Even on cloudy days, UV levels can still be high.

Simple steps can help:

✅ Choose sunglasses with full UV protection
✅ Wear a hat for extra shade,
✅ Limit time in direct sunlight during peak hours
