February is AMD awareness month. Macular Degeneration affects the central vision and is one of the leading causes of vision loss globally.

There is no cure for AMD but steps can be taken to reduce its impact. Protect your eyes with regular eye examinations and leading a healthy lifestyle 🥗🏃🏽

If you notice any symptoms or have any concerns please contact us 📞

Most people have heard of astigmatism but what actually is it?

Regular astigmatism occurs when the eye is shaped more like a rugby ball rather than being completely round. Astigmatism is detected during a routine eye examination and it makes up the ‘cyl’ part of your prescription.

🙋🏼What are the symptoms?

The main symptom is blurred vision. You could experience headaches, eye strain, glare sensitivity and haloes/starbursts around lights.

🙋🏽‍♀️Can it be corrected?

Astigmatism is usually easily correct with either spectacles or contact lenses.

If you make any questions please DM us or speak to one of our Dispensing Opticians in practice😊

Vision screening in schools can detect if a child has reduced vision but this does not replace their free NHS examination. It is recommended that routine eye tests start at age 3-4 years.

Please contact the Deal or Dover practice if you’d like to book an eye test for your child😊

Some honest advice from us to keep your eyes healthy!

💧 Watery eyes could mean you have dry eyes - your body is compensating for the lack of tears.

☀️ Sun damage is mostly irreversible… wear your sunglasses!

📖 After the age of 40, nearly everyone will need reading spectacles.

👓 Wearing glasses does not make your eyes ‘worse’, you just notice the benefit!

👁️ Just because you aren’t having visual problems, it does not mean you don’t need an eye test.

We are always here to help and advise!
