The "11-Month" Daily Lens 😱

​The Story: A patient came in with a red, blurred, and sore eye. At first glance, it looked like an early dendritic corneal ulcer (cold sore virus) or a embedded fibre. But after a closer look, we found the culprit: a daily contact lens that had been sitting on her eye for nearly a year! 🗓️

​She had bought them online and last wore them to see a Peter Kay show back in February. She thought the had taken both lenses out that night. However it turns out that one of the lenses wasnt out!

​How lucky was she? 🍀
Honestly? Incredibly lucky. Leaving a lens in this long is a recipe for disaster. It could have led to:

1) ​A Sight-Threatening Infection: Bacteria love trapped, warm spaces. This could have easily turned into a microbial keratitis (a severe infection).

2) Corneal Oxygen Starvation: Corneas need to breathe! Long-term wear can cause blood vessels to grow into the eye or cause permanent scarring.

3) Severe Ulcers: What looked like a small mark could have become a deep, painful hole in the cornea.

​The Lesson:
1️⃣ Don’t skip your check-ups. Buying online without regular professional exams means "silent" issues go unnoticed.
2️⃣ The "Lost" Lens Myth: If you can’t find your lens, don’t just assume it fell out. If the eye stays red or blurry, come see us!
3️⃣ Dailies are for ONE day. Not 330 days.

It really was stuck on tight 🫣. ​We had to use tweezers to carefully lift and slide this one off because it had practically suctioned to the eye. Thankfully, we got it out just in time!

It's collection day! 🤩 Part 2 of my journey to new specs is here, and I'm obsessed with the results...

​These are the Ted Baker 'Bennet' frames with Hoya Sensity Green Zen lenses—that's their photochromic magic! ✨ They go from clear indoors to dark like sunglasses when the sun hits.

​The perfect two-in-one for a busy schedule. So happy with my bespoke specs! I've been looking for a pair like this for a while.

​Photochromic lenses come in so many cool colours now and are seriously much cooler than they used to be! 😎

​Do you have photochromic lenses? Let me know what you think in the comments! 👇
​...just need some actual sun now 🤣🌞

What an incredible Visionary Day with the amazing team from Hoya Corporation in Wrexham! 👓
​We had such a fantastic time on our training and team-bonding trip. It kicked off with a lovely Sunday night stay in a fancy hotel, giving the Dixon Optometrists crew a chance to socialise, bond, and have a good laugh together!
​On Monday, we dove into the training day at the Hoya factory, and we were truly blown away. It was fascinating to see the level of detail, care, and precision that goes into making every single lens. Seeing the process first-hand has given us even greater appreciation for the quality we deliver to our patients.
​Thank you to the Hoya team for a memorable and highly informative experience! We're coming back with new knowledge and even more excitement for what we do.
