An eye exam at Care Optics is about much more than just a new pair of glasses. Our expert optometrists can detect early signs of conditions like diabetes by spotting damage to blood vessels long before you notice any symptoms.

Sometimes, a "clear" eye test doesn't tell the whole story. If your child struggles with reading, it might not be a lack of effort, it could be a lack of eye dominance stability.

Does your child show 3 or more of these signs? ✅ Losing their place while reading ✅ Frequent headaches or rubbing their eyes ✅ Reversing letters or numbers ✅ Poor handwriting or slow reading speed ✅ Closing or covering one eye to focus

Our specialist SchoolVision assessments go beyond the basics to help stabilise the eyes, often resulting in an instant boost in reading speed and confidence! 🚀

Is Your Vision Changing? 👁️

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects the central part of your sight, making it harder to see fine details like text or faces.

Watch for these key signs:

Dry AMD: A gradual loss of central vision, often appearing unusually fuzzy or distorted.

Wet AMD: A rapid decline in vision where straight lines may look wavy, or a dark "blind spot" appears in the center of your field of vision.

How to protect your eyes:
- Nutrition: Eat plenty of dark green vegetables.
- Protection: Wear sunglasses to shield your retina from sunlight.
- Lifestyle: Stop smoking, as it is a major risk factor for AMD.

Regular Check-ups: Visit your optometrist to catch signs of AMD early.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month! Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which can lead to permanent sight loss if not detected early.

Did you know?

Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because most types have no symptoms in the early stages.

It isn’t always about high eye pressure; damage can happen even when pressure is normal.

Symptoms like eye pain, redness, or seeing haloes around lights are medical emergencies and need immediate attention.

While glaucoma cannot be cured, regular eye examinations at Care Optics allow our optometrists to detect early signs through pressure checks and optic nerve scans. Early treatment, such as daily eye drops, can help protect your vision for the future.
