𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗲 "𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀" 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 — little dots, cobwebs or specks drifting across their vision. They're usually harmless and caused by tiny fibres inside the eye.

However, it's important to know when floaters are not normal.

👉 Seek urgent attention if:
• You suddenly see lots more floaters
• You experience flashes of light
• Your vision becomes shadowed or blurry on one side
• You notice a "curtain" effect over your vision

These could be early signs of a retinal issue, and quick treatment makes all the difference.
If you're ever unsure, it's always better to get checked — we're here to help.

To keep young eyes healthy, try these simple steps:
• Encourage screens to be at least an arm's length away
• Take breaks during long gaming sessions
• Ensure good lighting to reduce glare
• Watch for signs like rubbing eyes or sitting too close

Children rarely tell you their vision is struggling — they adapt instead. If you've noticed any small changes in behaviour or comfort, a routine eye exam can help spot issues early.

Even 30 seconds away from your device can make your eyes feel noticeably more comfortable.

Try building in small habits:
• Look across the room when your eyes feel "tight"
• Increase text size so you're not squinting
• Lower your screen brightness if it feels harsh
• Add more light to reduce contrast and strain

These tiny adjustments help your focusing muscles relax, keeping your eyes clear and comfortable throughout the day.
If you're still experiencing strain or blurred vision, an eye test may help pinpoint the cause.

A cataract is simply a clouding of the natural lens inside the eye — something that happens gradually for most people as part of the ageing process.

Common signs include:
• Blurred or cloudy vision
• Needing more light to read
• Halos or glare around lights
• Faded or dull colours
• Struggling more with night driving

Cataracts can sound worrying, but they're incredibly common — and treatment is one of the safest and most successful surgeries in the UK. Most people enjoy dramatically clearer vision afterwards.

That's why regular eye exams are essential if you live with diabetes. They allow us to detect changes early and protect your long-term vision.

Signs of diabetic eye disease aren't always obvious, but with routine check-ups, monitoring and the right support, eye health can be well managed for years to come.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲:
Never sleep in your lenses unless they are specifically approved for overnight wear.

𝗪𝗵𝘆?
During sleep, your oxygen levels drop and bacteria can multiply more easily. Wearing lenses overnight increases the risk of infections and makes dry eyes much worse — something many people notice in winter.

𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀:
• Wash and dry hands before handling lenses
• Avoid wearing them in showers or hot tubs
• Always use fresh solution
• Replace lenses on schedule

A simple change that helps many people is adjusting the position of your monitor.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁:
• Keep the top of your screen slightly below eye level
• Sit around an arm's length away
• Make sure lighting isn't causing reflections or glare
• Adjust text size so you're not leaning forward

These tweaks reduce both eye strain and neck tension — especially during long shifts or busy days.

𝗕 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀
Blepharitis is a very common condition where the eyelid margins become inflamed. It often causes:
• Red or sore eyelids
• Flakes around the lashes
• Itching or burning
• A "gritty" feeling
• Occasional crusting in the mornings

It's usually caused by blocked oil glands along the edges of the eyelids. When these glands don't produce enough healthy oils, the tear film becomes unstable — leading to irritation, dryness and general discomfort.

In winter, symptoms tend to flare up because cold air and central heating can dry the eyes further.

The good news: blepharitis is manageable.
Warm compresses, lid hygiene and, in some cases, specific drops or in-practice treatments can make a huge difference.
