A reminder to all our contact lens wearers ♻️
Please bring your used contact lenses, blister packs, and outer packaging into the practice for recycling next time you visit.

These items can’t usually be recycled through normal household collections, but we can make sure they’re disposed of properly through specialist recycling schemes.

Thank you for helping us reduce waste and make eye care a little more sustainable.

If you've been in the practice recently, you'll probably have met our wonderful (newish) optical assistant, Julia. Here she is in her new Essilor GENS transition lenses which she loves!

Originally from Canada, Julia brings a wealth of experience to the role. After relocating to Scotland to pursue a master's degree in literature, she decided to continue working in the optical field. Passionate about eyewear and optical care, she helps provide top-notch service to our patients.

As the first point of contact for many of our patients, Julia thrives on creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for everyone who walks through our door. She enjoys building relationships with patients and ensuring their eye care needs are met with the utmost care and professionalism.

When it comes to eyewear, Julia’s favourite brand is Calvin Klein and she loves helping others find great eyewear as she appreciates it can be a challenge!

When Julia isn’t helping patients, you can find her reading books, writing, or playing guitar and piano. An all-around creative, Julia brings a fresh perspective and energy to the team. She loves the local area, wandering around the Botanics, as well as walking around the streets admiring the architecture, as well as some beautiful private gardens along the way.

Clip-ons are the ultimate win-win!
Clip-on sunglasses are one of the smartest ways to save money on eyewear. Instead of buying separate prescription sunglasses, you keep one high quality prescription lens and simply add magnetic or clip-on shades when the sun comes out.

• less hassle switching between glasses and sunglasses
• loads of styles and brands
• a lighter travel option
• flexibility if your prescription changes

Modern clip-ons are nothing like the bulky versions people may remember. All of ours are ultra-thin magnetic designs.

They’ve become especially popular with people who:
• drive regularly
• want fewer pairs to manage
• need varifocals and don’t want to pay twice
• like switching styles without replacing lenses

A good clip-on system can easily save hundreds compared to buying both optical glasses and prescription sunglasses separately.

Distinctive...but not too much

At Rodger & Smalridge Optometrists, we select frames like these for their balance, pieces that feel polished and confident without being overpowering.

Due an eye examination?
At Rodger & Smalridge, our diary tends to get especially busy at this time of year, so it’s worth booking ahead to secure a time that suits you.

If you’ve been meaning to arrange an appointment, now is a good time to get it in the diary.

Many grandparents play a big role in looking after the little ones, school runs, reading practice, and everything in between.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your child or grandchild is seeing as clearly as they could, it might be time for an eye examination.

Children don’t always realise when their vision isn’t quite right, and small issues can make a big difference to reading, learning, and confidence.

At Rodger & Smalridge, we take the time to make children feel comfortable and relaxed, so it’s a positive experience for everyone.

If it’s been a while, or you’ve noticed them struggling with books or screens, bring them in for a check.

We’re always happy to help.

👀Do your eyes feel uncomfortable?
If your eyes often feel gritty, sore, watery, or tired, you could be experiencing dry eye, also known as ocular surface disease.� It is a common condition, especially in Scotland where wind, weather, and screen time play a role. Perimenopause and menopause also cause noticeable changes in the eyes so may also be the route of the issue for some.

�We offer tailored advice and treatments to help you find relief and keep your eyes comfortable day to day and we’ll work to find you a long-term solution. Please don’t ever feel like you’re wasting our time. Having the opportunity to help improve day-to-day lives is why we work in eye care.
