Cold winds, dry indoor heating, and shorter daylight hours can affect your eyes in winter. You may notice dryness, irritation, or tiredness. Regular eye tests and simple care habits like lubricating drops and screen breaks can make a big difference.
Stay ahead of winter eye strain — we're here to help so if you need us call 01305 264557

n A well-fitted pair of glasses makes all the difference. If your glasses slip, pinch, sit unevenly, or cause pressure, they may need adjustment. We're always happy to check your fit and make small tweaks so your frames are as comfortable as they should be. Pop in or give a call on 01305 264557

Warm indoors, cold outdoors — winter temperature changes can cause your lenses to fog or smear more easily. Keeping a microfibre cloth handy and using an approved lens cleaner helps maintain clarity throughout the day. If your lenses are scratched or your coating is wearing down, we can help with replacements. #

If you spend long hours in front of a screen, you're not alone. Digital devices can lead to eye strain, headaches, and tired eyes.
Remember the 20-20-20 rule - every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It's a simple way to give your eyes a break.
Regular eye tests can also help prevent strain and ensure your vision is supported with the right lenses or coatings. Book your eye test today by calling us on 01305 264557 and keep your eyes comfortable at work and home.
