“What does my eye colour say about me?” 👀

It’s a question people search all the time — but the answer might surprise you.

The truth is, eye colour doesn’t reveal your personality, strengths, or temperament. It’s determined by genetics and the amount of pigment in the iris — that’s it.

What eye colour can tell us is a little more practical:

🔹 Lighter eye colours may be more sensitive to bright light, due to lower pigment levels
🔹 Darker eyes have more melanin, which can offer slightly more natural protection from sunlight
🔹 Eye colour doesn’t affect how good your eyesight is
🔹 True changes in eye colour during adulthood are uncommon and should always be checked

So while your eye colour doesn’t define who you are, it does remind us that every pair of eyes is different — and deserves individual care.

What colour are your eyes?

Ask an Optician 👓

We’re putting together a little Q&A series answering some of the most common questions we get about eyes, glasses and contact lenses.

If there’s something you’ve ever wondered about, you’re very welcome to pop your question in the comments 👇 or send us a private message if you’d prefer.

And if you’d rather just read along, we’ll be sharing answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often too.

Something a lot of people don’t realise…

While we’re well known for our wide range of designer frames, that isn’t all we offer.

We also stock a great selection of non-designer, more accessible frame ranges — perfect for anyone who wants quality, comfort and style without needing a designer label.

Everyone’s needs (and priorities) are different, and we believe good eye care — and good glasses — should feel comfortable and achievable for everyone.

If you’ve ever assumed we might be out of your price range, please don’t.
We’re always happy to talk through the options and help you find something that might work for you.

A little look ahead…

As we head into the New Year, we just wanted to share that there are some really exciting things coming to Bawtry Eye Academy in 2026.

We’re always reinvesting back into the practice — updating equipment, bringing in new technology, and making sure the care we offer is as up to date and thorough as it can be. It’s something we genuinely care about, because your eye health matters to us.

We’ll be sharing more over the coming months, so keep an eye on our social pages for updates (no pun intended 😉)

And as always, thank you so much for your continued support — it really does mean a lot to us.

Happy New Year ✨

As we step into a new year, we just want to say thank you.

Thank you to each and every one of you for trusting us with your eye care throughout 2025. It really does mean the world to us, and we’re so grateful to be part of your journey.

Although we’re closed today so our team can enjoy a little time with their families, we’ll be back tomorrow, ready to welcome you as we head into 2026 together.

Wishing you a bright and wonderful New Year, filled with happiness, good health, and an abundance of blessings ✨

Myth: Ordering glasses online is the same as getting them from an optician

Reality: It’s not quite that simple 👓

While ordering glasses online can seem quick and convenient, there are a few important things that are easy to miss:

🔹 Measurements matter
Things like pupillary distance, frame fit, and how lenses sit in front of your eyes all affect how well you see — and they’re very hard to get right without professional measuring.

🔹 One prescription doesn’t fit every frame
Your prescription needs to be adapted to the frame you choose. Online systems can’t always account for this properly, which can lead to discomfort, headaches, or blurred vision.

🔹 Comfort is about more than looks
A frame might look great on screen, but weight, balance, and fit all play a big role in how glasses feel after hours of wear.

🔹 Your eyes change
An in-practice eye test checks not just your prescription, but your overall eye health too — something online ordering simply can’t do.

That’s why coming into the practice makes such a difference.
You’re not just choosing glasses — you’re getting personalised advice, accurate measurements, and peace of mind that everything is right for your eyes.

👁️💬 If you’ve ever ordered glasses online and found they weren’t quite right, you’re not alone.

Oh no… not 'Lucifer'

What a lot of people might not realise, is that Sarah fosters guinea pigs, so her house is often full of them 🐹

They come to her for a bit of love and care before heading off to their forever homes.

This little chap is one of her current fosters… and when he arrived, he was already named Lucifer.

The problem is — he’s honestly far too sweet, gentle and lovely for a name like that

So, if you’ve got a bit of time to potter and scroll in that quiet space between Christmas and New Year…
👉 help us rename him!

Pop your name suggestions in the comments ⬇️
Cute, cosy, funny — all welcome 😊

We believe your experience matters just as much as your eye care

☕ Coffee

🍫 Chocolate

Now the important question…

Coffee, sweets… or chocolate?
What’s your favourite while you’re waiting?

A day in the life of a contact lens at Christmas…

Morning.
Fresh. Clean. Full of festive optimism.

By 10am, I’m up against central heating, winter air,
and a mascara wand that’s come far too close for comfort.

Lunchtime.
Blinking intensifies.
Am briefly blamed for something that is definitely just tired eyes.

Afternoon.
Still doing my job.
Eye drops make a brief — and very welcome — appearance.

Evening.
I breathe a small sigh of relief when I realise there’s no Christmas partying tonight.
I don’t think I could handle any more glitter.

Alas… there is a festive box set to contend with.
One episode becomes three.
Let’s just hope they don’t fall asleep and forget about me again.

And yet…
Tomorrow, I will return.
Cleaned properly. Stored correctly. Ready to go again.

Because I am a contact lens.
And Christmas is… a lot.

🎄👁️
______________
So this season, why not spare a thought for your contact lenses —
the silent heroes of Christmas we often forget.
Bathe them well (in the right solution), keep them hydrated,
don’t put them through the ordeal of an entire box set…
and remember — even superheroes need a day off sometimes.

Team contacts, team glasses… or a bit of both?
