👁️ Eye tests do more than check how well you can see - they can help protect your overall health.

A comprehensive eye examination can reveal early signs of health conditions that may not yet be causing noticeable symptoms. Because the eyes give a clear view of blood vessels and nerves, changes here can sometimes indicate wider health concerns.

During an eye test, we can help identify early indicators of issues such as:
• Diabetes-related changes
• High blood pressure
• Glaucoma and other eye diseases
• Age-related eye conditions

Catching these signs early allows for faster action, better management, and long-term protection of your sight and well-being.

Even if your vision feels fine, regular eye tests play an important role in maintaining good health at every stage of life.

If it’s been a while since your last eye test, now is the time to act.

📞 Contact Cooper & Leatherbarrow today to book your eye examination and take a proactive step towards protecting your health.

❄️ Have you got the correct eyewear for winter?

Winter driving can be challenging, with low sun, glare from wet or icy roads, and poor visibility in gloomy conditions. The right eyewear can make a real difference to comfort and safety behind the wheel.

Anti-glare lenses can help reduce reflections, while sunglasses are still important during Winter months when the sun sits lower in the sky.

Making sure your prescription is up to date is just as important when visibility matters most.

If you’re unsure whether your current glasses are right for winter driving, our team is happy to offer advice and help you find the best solution for your needs. 👓

🤕 Struggling with migraines or frequent headaches? Your eyes could be part of the problem.

Long hours on screens, uncorrected vision, and eye strain can all contribute to headaches and migraines - often without people realising there’s a link.

A comprehensive eye examination can help identify vision issues that may be placing extra strain on your eyes, including:
• Outdated prescriptions
• Eye focusing or alignment problems
• Screen-related eye strain

Simple changes, such as the right lenses or tailored advice, can make a real difference to everyday comfort.

If headaches are becoming a regular issue, it may be worth having your eyes checked.

Our team is here to help you see — and feel — more comfortably. Contact us today > https://www.cooperandleatherbarrow.com/ 👓

The procedure is quick, carried out by trained professionals, and suitable for most people - with no messy water or discomfort.

If your ears are feeling blocked or your hearing has changed, booking an assessment could make a real difference.

🤧 Did you know?

When you sneeze, your eyes instinctively close to protect them from pressure and airborne particles. It’s a natural reflex - and a reminder of just how delicate your eyes really are.

Seasonal allergies, dust, and irritation can all affect your eye comfort, especially if sneezing is accompanied by itchy, watery, or sore eyes.

If you’ve noticed changes in how your eyes feel (or if allergies are becoming a regular issue) an eye examination can help identify what’s going on and how best to manage it.

Our team is always happy to offer advice to keep your eyes comfortable and healthy all year round. 👁️💙
