As a team of women who love their foot fashions, this appeals to us.
Glasses are like shoes. You need a few different pairs - after all you wouldn’t wear your gym trainers to a grad ball or at the pool on holiday!
Most importantly one size doesn’t fit all….. this is why our dedicated team can guide you with your selection so your next pair are as fab as you are.
Give us a ring on 01307 462461 to speak to us about your summer wardrobe 😜

👀 It’s Myopia Awareness Week!
📆 19 - 25 May 2025
Screens Down 🙇‍♂️, Eyes Up! 🙄

Myopia (short-sightedness) is rising fast - especially in children.

It is estimated that by 2050, half of the world’s population will be myopic!!

Too much screen time and not enough time spent outdoors are now known to be factors in developing myopia (short sightedness). This is particularly true for kids who have parents who are short sighted.

So what can we do about it?
🌳 Encourage kids to spend time outdoors
📱 Limit close-up screen use
👓 Book regular eye exams - early detection is key! (And no, children do not get a school eye test anymore after their initial one in nursery.)

At Angus Optix, we screen all kids for myopia and for those who might be at risk of becoming myopia, so we detect it before it even begins. Using the latest technology, we can try to predict the future.
