There are many reasons why your eyes may feel more uncomfortable in the winter months. Increased screen time is one of them. Staring at a screen makes you blink less, so may make your eyes feel drier. Here is a very simple piece of advice to help restore some comfort. It is a great piece of advice for kids too, especially those who spend a lot of time on devices, or playing video games.

Get blinking!

By including an OCT scan as part of your eye examination, we create a detailed record of your eyes year on year. This means we can spot even the smallest changes early, often before you notice any difference in your vision.

For the most thorough care, book an Enhanced Eye Examination with us.

Proud of our heritage, focused on the future.
We have been caring for eyes in our community since 1888, and while a lot has changed over the years, our commitment to excellent eye care has not.

Today, that heritage is combined with the very latest technology, including our advanced OCT scanner. This allows us to look beneath the surface of the eye and detect early signs of eye disease, often before symptoms appear.

It is the reassurance of trusted, traditional care, paired with modern equipment and clinical expertise, giving your eyes the best of both worlds.

January is Glaucoma awareness month

Regular checks are key to identifying glaucoma in its early stages and monitoring progression. OCT scans are essential in detecting early subtle changes and we offer this as part of our enhanced examinations!

Key facts:
✅It's estimated 50% of all glaucoma is currently undiagnosed (Moorfields/University College London)
✅Prevalence ranges from 2% in those 40+ to >10% in those 70+ (NICE 2022)
OCT can help detect glaucomatous change years earlier than standard tests (Sathyan et al. 2012)
✅Glaucoma has no symptoms in early stages so thorough eye examination is essential.

Call us on 0131 552 5160 to arrange your enhanced eye examinations or, book online.

Like your vision, your hearing is an important part of your overall wellbeing, and it deserves proper care.

At Rodger & Smalridge, we now offer professional hearing checks as well as safe and effective ear wax removal in practice. If you have noticed reduced hearing, ringing in your ears, or a blocked sensation, ear wax may be the cause and it is something we can help with.

Regular hearing checks can spot changes early, and professional wax removal can make a real difference quickly and comfortably.

If you have any concerns about your hearing, or it has been a while since your last check, get in touch to book an appointment.

Call us today on 0131 552 5160.

Time to invest in your eye health

Did you know we can see beneath the surface of your eye?

Our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanner captures highly detailed 3D images of your retina, helping us detect conditions such as glaucoma, AMD (age-related macular degeneration), and diabetic eye disease at a much earlier stage.
By identifying tiny changes long before symptoms appear, OCT gives you the best opportunity to protect your sight and plan the right care for the future.

Your eyes deserve the highest standard of care, which is why we invest in the latest technology to support your long-term eye health. Make an OCT scan part of your New Year health routine. Opt for an Enhanced Eye Exam when you book.
