“I’m fine on familiar roads… it’s new places I avoid”
You might notice this one quietly creeping in.
You’re absolutely fine on roads you know well.
But unfamiliar routes, busy junctions, or new roundabouts feel… harder work.

So people naturally adapt:

• sticking to familiar roads
• avoiding peak times
• hesitating a little longer
• relying more on memory than vision

This isn’t about confidence or skill.
It’s about how much work your eyes are being asked to do.
When you’re driving somewhere new, your vision has to take in and process more information at once:
signs, markings, movement from the sides, changing lanes.

If vision isn’t as clear or comfortable as it could be, particularly contrast, peripheral awareness, or how well your eyes work together - driving stops feeling easy and enjoyable.

The good news?
These things can often be identified and improved.
A comprehensive eye examination looks well beyond reading letters. It checks how your eyes perform in real-world situations and whether your vision is properly supported for everyday driving.

The aim is simple:
clearer vision, calmer journeys, and driving that feels enjoyable again ...even somewhere new.
If unfamiliar roads feel more tiring than they used to, that’s worth checking.

Gents in eyewear
Classic. Contemporary. A little bit bold.

There’s a myth that men should “play it safe” with glasses.
In reality, the best eyewear — whether it’s classic or more avant-garde — does exactly the same thing:
it suits the wearer.

Some of the gents you’ll see here prefer clean, timeless shapes.
Others enjoy something a little more expressive.
Different styles.
Same result.
They look comfortable, confident, and very much themselves.

Good eyewear isn’t about following trends.
It’s about proportion, balance, colour and how the frame works with you.
And when it comes to eyewear…
3 really is the magic number

Most men benefit from:
1️⃣ A main pair — your everyday, go-to glasses
2️⃣ A second pair — a change of look or feel
3️⃣ A back-up pair — because life happens
And then there’s the non-negotiable extra:
🕶️ A proper pair of prescription polarised sunglasses for brighter conditions and driving comfort.

Different settings. Different light. Different moods.
The same clarity and confidence.

If you’ve always worn “the same sort of glasses” and wondered whether something else might suit you — it probably will.
And that’s where good styling comes in.

Eyewear that fits your face, your life, and your personality.

Great eyewear isn’t about following trends. It’s about understanding yourself.
Most women we see don’t struggle with style.
They struggle with choice.

Too many frames. Too many opinions. Too many rules about what you “should” wear.

At Bottomley Opticians, our styling appointments are designed to cut through all of that.

With an open mind — and around 45 minutes — we’ll guide you through shapes, colours and proportions that genuinely work for you. Often including options you’d never have picked up on your own… and quietly ruling out the ones that don’t serve you anymore.

It’s not rushed.
It’s not overwhelming.
And it’s never about squeezing you into a trend.

The coffee’s on us ☕
The advice is honest.
And you’ll leave feeling clearer, more confident, and far more certain about how to choose eyewear that reflects who you are now.

If that sounds like your kind of experience, book a styling appointment.

🖥️ What Are Office Lenses?

Office lenses — sometimes called occupational lenses — are designed for people who spend a lot of time at a desk, computer, or working at mid-range distances.

They give you clear, relaxed vision across the whole working area — from reading distance to a few metres away — perfect for screens, meetings, and creative work.

Unlike varifocals, they prioritise comfort and clarity in the near and mid zones, so you get:

✅ Better posture
✅ Less neck and shoulder tension
✅ A wider, more natural field of view
✅ Easier focus for longer

They’re especially loved by:
• Vets, surgeons & dentists
• Traders & studio engineers
• Artists, writers & designers
• Anyone who spends hours in front of a screen

They’re brilliant at work — just remember, they’re not for driving.

This is Julie .....and Julie has excellent taste in eyewear.
She chose not one, but two gorgeous pieces, each with its own personality… and both look absolutely superb on her.

The first pair has that timeless, rounded elegance.
The second? A beautiful burst of colour that lights up her features and brings a playful edge to her look.

It’s a joy styling someone who’s open to exploring different moods through their frames — and Julie wears both with effortless confidence.
If you’d like help finding eyewear that feels just right for you, come and see us.

Do Experts Still Matter in a Self-Service World ?

We’ve never had more tools to “do it ourselves” — yet real expertise has never been more valuable.

Online, you can pick anything: a restaurant, a holiday, even your eyewear.
But convenience isn’t the same as confidence.

There’s something different about sitting with someone who actually knows:
someone who reads faces, not price tags
someone who sees your personality before you speak
someone who reduces the noise instead of adding to it
A good expert doesn’t tell you what to choose.

They make the choice clearer.
In a self-service world, guidance is a quiet luxury.

Rain, reflections & white lines - why bad weather changes everything
Many people tell us they’re fine driving most of the time…
until the weather turns.
Rain at night.
Reflections from headlights.
Roads that suddenly feel shiny, busy, and harder to read.

White lines seem to disappear.
Judging distance takes more effort.
Everything feels faster - and more tiring - than it used to.

This isn’t just “bad weather nerves”.

When roads are wet and light levels are low, your eyes rely heavily on contrast — the ability to distinguish edges, markings and movement. If contrast sensitivity isn’t as sharp as it once was, rain can amplify the problem very quickly.

Add glare from headlights and streetlights, and your eyes are suddenly working much harder than they should.

What often happens next is subtle:
You slow down more than you used toYou grip the wheel a bit tighterYou avoid certain journeys when it’s rainingYou feel relieved when you get home

These are sensible coping strategies — but they’re also useful signals.
The reassuring news?
This isn’t about bravery or confidence.
It’s about how well your vision is supported for real-world conditions.

A comprehensive eye examination looks beyond reading letters and checks where we can give help for clearer, safer driving vision.

Calm confidence starts with clear vision

A different way to choose glasses !
Most people don’t wake up on a Saturday excited about choosing glasses.
They imagine rows of frames, feeling rushed, trying things on that don’t feel quite right and walking out unsure.
That’s not how we do it.

A styling appointment at Bottomley Opticians is deliberately calm.
You sit down. We make you a coffee. We talk about how you live, what you like, what you don’t — and then we bring styles to you.
No pressure. No guessing. No “that’ll do”.

Quite often people end up choosing something they’d never have picked off a rack and loving it, because it actually suits them.
If it’s been a while since you enjoyed wearing your glasses, or you’ve never really felt like they were you, a styling appointment might be a lovely way to spend an hour.

If you fancy it, we’re here.
If not, no rush — Saturdays are for taking things at your own pace.

Most people don’t choose their glasses. They settle for them.

They pick what feels familiar.
What they’ve always worn.
What feels “safe”.
And there’s nothing wrong with that — until you realise how much better things can feel when your eyewear is chosen with intention.

At Bottomley Opticians, we do things a little differently.
We set aside time.
We ask better questions.
We look at how you live, how you work, how you want to feel — not just what prescription you need.

With an open mind and around 45 minutes, we’ll guide you through styles and ideas you may never have considered… not to push you into something bold, but to help you understand why certain shapes, colours and proportions work so well for you.

It’s calm.
It’s personal.
And surprisingly enjoyable.
The coffee’s on us ☕
And you’ll leave with more confidence, more clarity, and a far better understanding of how to choose glasses that genuinely suit you — now and in the future.

If that sounds like your kind of experience, book a styling appointment.

“Why do you recommend Zeiss so often?”
We get asked this a lot — and it’s a good question.
ZEISS have been making precision optics for over 175 years. Their lenses are designed using the same thinking that goes into medical and surgical equipment — accuracy, comfort, and reliability.
When people try Zeiss lenses, the most common reaction is:
“That feels easier on my eyes.”
And that’s exactly the point.
We’re always honest though — Zeiss lenses aren’t the cheapest option.
But if you value comfort, clarity, and vision that feels natural all day, they’re a brilliant choice.
Our job isn’t to sell you something.
It’s to help you choose what genuinely works for you.

Some eyewear doesn’t whisper. It knows who it is.
TREEspectacles are a good example of that.

They’re bold without being brash.
Confident without being showy.
Beautifully made, with a presence you can feel the moment you put them on.
Italian acetate fronts.
Japanese titanium sides.
And a sense of design that says: this isn’t trying to please everyone.

That’s exactly why TREE works so well for the right person — and why it’s not about forcing a look.
If you’re thinking about upping your eyewear game this year, a styling appointment is the best place to start. Not to push you into something bold — but to explore whether TREE genuinely fits you.

Your face shape.
Your proportions.
Your personality.
Your lifestyle.

With around 45 unhurried minutes and an open mind, we’ll show you how TREE sits on your face — and just as importantly, whether it feels right when you catch your reflection.

If it is a fit, you’ll know.
If it isn’t, that’s just as valuable.
That’s the point of proper styling.
If you’re curious to see whether TREEspectacles could be your next move, book a styling appointment.
