❄️ Winter doesn’t only affect the skin - your eyes respond too! 👁️

Reduced daylight, cold air and indoor heating can increase dryness and strain, influencing overall ocular comfort.

Thoughtful steps such as optimising lighting when reading or working, using sunglasses outdoors to minimise glare, considering a preservative-free lubricant drop, and taking regular breaks during prolonged screen use can help maintain comfort and clarity throughout the season.

Visit us in store for further details or speak to one of our experienced and friendly team members - we’re always happy to help 👓

Because at the end of the day, your eyes deserve care year-round, not just in summer ☀️

🧐 What is an OCT Scan?

An Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan is a non-invasive medical imaging test that employs light to generate high-definition, three-dimensional images of the eye’s tissues. Its primary application is to assess the layers of the retina and cornea, enabling optometrists to gain a comprehensive understanding of the eye’s health and help monitor pre-existing conditions such as glaucoma.


But at Askew, we don’t just take the photo – we tell you the story behind it too. Our comprehensive OCT scans come with a full, in-depth consultation to keep you in the know about your eyes. No mysteries, just clear explanations. Because your eyes deserve more than a quick glance. 👀
