Meet The Team 👭

Next up in meet the team we are thrilled to feature the one and only Sophie Wragg! ✨

Sophie’s journey with us began in 2015 during a summer placement while studying Optometry at Cardiff University. After graduating in 2016, she chose to complete her Pre-registration year with us, officially qualifying as an Optometrist in 2017. 👁️‍🗨️

Through her dedication to building meaningful connections and her natural leadership in supporting our team, Sophie rose through the ranks to become a Store Director in 2022. 🎊

Today, she continues to be a cornerstone of our practice, supporting both our patients and staff daily.🥰

Never one to stand still, Sophie is currently training to become an Independent Prescriber. Once completed, this qualification will allow her to personally manage and prescribe pharmaceutical treatments for various eye conditions, providing our patients with even more personalised care.😎

Beyond the clinic, Sophie is a prominent figure in the local optical community. She serves as the Vice Chair of the Shropshire LOC (Local Optical Committee), where she collaborates with fellow opticians across the county and liaises with NHS England matters they feel passionately about! 💪🏻

We couldn't be luckier to have her with us and will continue to watch her glow!! 🌟

Wise Wednesday 😎

Some of our more eagle-eyed followers may have noticed we’ve been busy raising funds for Asthma + Lung UK.
To keep that momentum going, we wanted to highlight a connection many people miss: the link between your respiratory health and your vision. Here is why your lungs and your eyes are more "linked" than you might think:

👁️ The Dry Eye Connection: Those living with asthma are more prone to Dry Eye Syndrome. This often worsens during the winter chill, leading to redness, itching, and blurred vision. Why? Chronic inflammation and certain asthma medications can inadvertently reduce your natural tear production.

👁️ Steroids: While essential for managing asthma, long-term use of steroids is associated with the development of Cataracts.

👁️ Reduced Oxygen: Very severe Asthma can cause low blood oxygen which can affect the cornea.
