Battling dry winter eyes?

The shift from freezing outdoor temperatures to warm, dry central heating can play havoc with your vision and comfort. This rapid change often leads to dry, itchy, or gritty eyes.

Top tip: Use a humidifier indoors and blink consciously while using screens to help keep your eyes moist.

If you are experiencing persistent eye discomfort or vision changes, our NHS Ophthalmology services are available in your community. Learn more: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0qM9Dw0

Tummy troubles after all the treats?

The festive feasting is over, but are you still feeling the effects? While occasional discomfort is normal, persistent symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, or abdominal pain shouldn't be dismissed.

If your gut health issues continue beyond the first few weeks of January, remember that CHEC offers comprehensive NHS Gastroenterology services. Learn more here: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0qMbYs0
