👀Do words appear to move, wobble or flicker when you read for any length of time? Do your eyes get tired or do you get headaches when reading? You might be one of the 20% of the population who suffers from a condition known as Visual Stress.
These effects can often be reduced or even eliminated by placing a sheet of coloured plastic (an overlay) over the page or using coloured lenses. Interestingly, the colour required to achieve this varies from one person to another and the colour can be different for overlays and lenses.

Eyes on the ball, brought it all!

⚽️ England’s hero was once told she might never play sport.
As a baby, Hannah was diagnosed with , a condition where the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. She had three surgeries by the age of three to help correct it. Now? She’s England’s number 1. Two saved penalties. One unforgettable final 🏆

Strabismus affects around 2–3% of children. If left untreated, it can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) and loss of stereo depth perception, the ability to judge depth at close range.

👏 Hannah’s story shows that early diagnosis and treatment can make a lasting difference.

⚽🎊Come on Lionesses🎊⚽

Let's see if we can top the Wimbledon jargon post--

We will solve all your eyewear needs, whether it's everyday eyewear or sport eyewear.

Firstly we can DIVE into an in-depth eye examination. The FIRST HALF is where we SHOOT aa scan of the back of the eye using our OCT machine. We will then FORWARD this on to the Optician who will then perform the SECOND HALF of the test.
Then they PASS you over to one of our dispensing opticians who will be your biggest SUPPORTERS. They can show you the LINES of frames on offer and discuss the sports eyewear options, they will REFEREE the frames on offer and will say which suit you and are best for your vision needs. We will leap to our STRIKING products DEFENCE, But we promise you will never be left in a CORNER in our practice, you become part of the TEAM and we will always be your biggest FANS. We promise to never drop the BALL.

I'm done! Time for me to get SUBSTITUED so I can rest. Please let this be the last one of these I have to do 🤣
