⭐️Meet Rebecca⭐️

Many of you will recognise our Optometrist, Rebecca, as she has worked at Shaws since the age of 14!🤯

Originally starting as a receptionist and carrying out tasks such as filing and answering phone calls. Rebecca then remained with Shaws throughout University, going on to complete her Pre-Registration year in Cumnock and has been with us as an optometrist ever since! 👩🏼‍⚕️

Many of our patients do refer to Rebecca as “the twins mum” as she is mum to a set of twins, Lily and Alice. Along with the twins and her husband, Christopher, Rebecca loves to travel and has an enjoyment for following Formula 1. 🏎️

👁️✨ See More Than Meets the Eye! ✨👁️

A standard retinal photo shows the surface of your eye — but with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), we can see beneath the surface in incredible detail.

OCT scans give our Optometrists a 3D, cross-sectional view of your retina, helping us detect early signs of conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease long before symptoms appear.

It’s quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive — and it could make all the difference in protecting your vision for years to come. 👓💙

At Shaw Eyecare, OCT scans are carried out completely complimentary along with every NHS eye exam. Book online or call in to Cumnock or Mauchline today!

🎄🎅🏼Hospital Christmas Gift Appeal 2025 🤶🏼🎁

This is the 10th year local sisters have collected gifts in memory of their Mum who had to spend Christmas 2015 in hospital battling cancer. She unfortunately lost her fight in early December 2016 💔 💫Betty Hoffin 1959-2016💫

We would love your help to fill the bottom of our tree with gifts for those who will not be at home for Christmas or is receiving cancer treatment during this time. These gifts will be greatly received by University Hospital Crosshouse Paediatric and Oncology Departments and also East Ayrshire Community Hospital.

Gift ideas could include -toiletry gift sets, fluffy socks, slippers, colouring book & pens, sweets, pyjamas etc. It doesn’t have to cost a lot, the sentiment means more. Please hand in to our practice before 11/12/25. We would ask you to pop your UNWRAPPED GIFT INTO A GIFT BAG ALONG WITH A GIFT TAG OR CHRISTMAS CARD AND DON’T FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME. Please DO NOT WRAP THEM and leave the bag UNSEALED so the wonderful NHS staff can distribute appropriately to patients.
