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. Specialist lenses and a tailored eye examination could make a real difference to your comfort.

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.

A really fascinating piece of research from the University of Edinburgh is suggesting that OCT scans of the macula may reveal important clues about kidney health and could potentially be used for monitoring the progression of kidney disease.

At Feltham Eyecare Centre we find this incredibly intriguing. We have been using OCT technology in practice for over 15 years to support the care of our patients’ eye health, and it is remarkable to see how this same technology is now being explored in groundbreaking research to help with the understanding and management of chronic diseases.

On a personal note, as a kidney transplant patient, this is something very close to my heart. It is both amazing and encouraging to see how advances in retinal imaging may help clinicians in the future with earlier detection, closer monitoring and improved outcomes for patients.

It also reinforces the powerful idea that the eye can act as a window to the rest of the body. We will certainly be following these developments with great interest.
