𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿! Let’s bust a classic myth: “Wearing glasses makes your eyesight worse.”
FALSE! Your eyes change naturally over time—wearing glasses just helps you see clearly and comfortably.

If your prescription needs updating, it’s because your eyes have changed, not because of your specs. Regular eye tests help us spot changes early and keep you seeing your best.

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Around 80% of what children learn is processed through their eyes—that’s a huge part of their world!
With summer holidays still in full swing, it’s the perfect opportunity to book your child’s eye test before school starts again in September. Early eye tests can spot common issues like short-sightedness or a “lazy eye” that could impact learning or confidence in the classroom. Our opticians are friendly, patient, and experienced with little ones, making eye tests easy and fun. 👓

✨ Plus, NHS children’s eye tests are completely free! If you have any questions about your child’s vision or you’re unsure when they last had a test, just send us a message or give us a call.
