Optometrists have been doing this for donkies years.

We are able to monitor in house any recovery and follow up as necessary, and in theory are more accessible that GPs and hospitals allowing them more time to focus on more urgent medical issues and speeding up treatment for the patients!

And let’s face it most practices have far better equipment to monitor eye conditions than most GP practices

And surprisingly Optometrists are experts in the field of eyes…..GPs are experts in general medicine.

You may no longer need to see a GP or go to hospital

Eyes on the ball, brought it all!

⚽️ England’s hero was once told she might never play sport.
As a baby, Hannah was diagnosed with , a condition where the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. She had three surgeries by the age of three to help correct it. Now? She’s England’s number 1. Two saved penalties. One unforgettable final 🏆

Strabismus affects around 2–3% of children. If left untreated, it can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) and loss of stereo depth perception, the ability to judge depth at close range.

👏 Hannah’s story shows that early diagnosis and treatment can make a lasting difference.

We’ve received two more fantastic reviews this week, such a great reminder of how fortunate I am to work with an incredible team and care for such wonderful patients.

It’s been a week of celebrations too, with a birthday in the mix and a thoughtful bottle left on my desk (please excuse the mid-declutter moment in the photo!).

There’s been clear progress over the past few months. It’s steady, sometimes slow, but always moving in the right direction thanks to consistent effort and teamwork.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, especially those who take time out of their day to share such kind words. It truly means a lot.
