As we step into 2026, we want to take a moment to reintroduce ourselves, and warmly welcome our new followers.

For over two decades, I have dedicated my career to optometry and contact lens speciality. Throughout that time, one issue appeared again and again: patients living with dry, tired, uncomfortable eyes.
From long hours on screens, contact lens intolerance, to glaucoma, systemic health conditions and beyond, many were told eye drops were the only solution. Yet time after time, they fell short.

After owning my independent practice for more than 15 years, I saw first-hand how dry eye disease can quietly erode quality of life. But my purpose deepened following the sudden loss of my father to cardiac arrest age only aged 58, a personal trauma that forever changed how I viewed healthcare. I couldn’t help but question how much might have been prevented through proactive care, early intervention and lifestyle support.

That moment became a turning point.
My trauma became my purpose.

I knew I wanted to elevate the standard of care. To move beyond reactive treatment and instead focus on prevention, precision and truly personalised solutions, so patients wouldn’t have to accept discomfort as their “new normal.”

Incorporating omega-3 supplements into a busy holiday routine can be straightforward with some tips to help you maintain eye comfort and overall wellness during the hectic holiday season:

1. Choose the Right Supplement: It is important to note that not all omega-3 supplements are created equal. Our recommended ones sets itself apart by combining ultra-pure fish oil with krill oil, yielding a more effective source of EPA and DHA with superior absorption. Additionally, Marine Omega contains astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant that supports overall eye health.- link in bio to order on subscription.

2. Set a Schedule: Incorporate taking your omega-3 supplements into your daily routine, such as when you brush your teeth in the morning or before a meal. Making it a habit helps ensure you don’t forget.

3. Use Reminders: Set alarms, notifications on your phone or use pill organisers to remind you to take your supplements.

4. Pair with Meals: Take your omega-3 supplements with meals, particularly those containing fats, as this can enhance absorption, such as those with nuts, fatty fish (like salmon), or avocado.

5. Incorporate Festive Foods: Focus on foods rich in omega-3s during holiday meals,such as walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or fatty fish can complement your supplement intake.

6. Batch Cook and Meal Prep: If you have time, prepare some healthy meals or snacks in advance that include omega-3-rich ingredients.

7. Keep Supplements Accessible*l: Store your omega-3 supplements in a visible place, like on the kitchen counter or next to your coffee maker, to serve as a visual cue to remember to take them.

8. Stay Hydrated: Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

9. Mindful Moment: Take a moment each day for mindfulness or a brief break. This can include taking your supplements as part of a short mindfulness exercise, helping you to relax.

10. Travel Prepared: If you’re traveling during the holidays, pack your omega-3 supplements in your carry-on luggage.

11. Educate and Share: Encourage family members to take omega-3 supplements as well, and discuss the benefits.

I’m often asked what tweakments I personally choose, so here’s my honest 2025 edit.

As i approach my mid forties, my focus has been on subtle support, skin health and longevity, rather than chasing change.
I’ve used Morpheus8 to gently refine my jawline and restore facial contour - not to alter, but to support what’s already there.
Botulinum toxin has been a quiet hero for my tech neck, softening lines caused by long days on screens (a modern reality we all share).
I’ve also incorporated polynucleotides for skin quality and repair, one of those treatments that works beautifully behind the scenes.

For the eye area (my passion), Forma-I has been invaluable for periocular rejuvenation and dry eyes, supporting both comfort and appearance. Alongside this, medical-grade skincare remains non-negotiable, results always start with consistency at home.

I continue to use anti-wrinkle injections sparingly, always with the intention of preserving expression, not freezing it. And red light therapy has become a regular ritual - calming, restorative, and incredibly supportive for overall skin health.

Tweakments, for me, should feel considered, personalised and empowering, never rushed, never trend-led.
Because the goal isn’t perfection. It’s feeling like yourself, well supported.
