World Glaucoma Week may have just ended, but the conversation around eye health doesn't stop here.

Glaucoma is known as the 'silent thief of sight' - it can cause irreversible vision loss with no warning signs. The single most effective protection is a regular, comprehensive eye examination.

If you haven't had an eye test in the past two years, or have noticed a change in your vision, this week is the perfect time to book one by calling us on 01305 264557

When did you last have an eye examination?

It's recommended that adults have a comprehensive eye test at least every two years - and more frequently if advised by your optometrist. Eye tests don't just check your prescription; they can also detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and even diabetes.

Booking takes just a minute. Call us today on 01305 264557 or call in to make your appointment.

Mid-week eye health tip:

If you spend several hours a day looking at screens - whether a computer, phone or tablet - you may be familiar with symptoms like tired eyes, headaches or blurred vision. This is commonly known as digital eye strain.

A simple habit that can help: the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something
20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. It gives your eye muscles a chance to relax.

If eye strain is a regular occurrence for you, speak to us by calling 01305 264557. Specialist lenses and a tailored eye examination could make a real difference to your comfort.
