Are your eyes tired? Struggling to read at night? The television is not as clear as it was? Difficulty with the computer? The sun is far too bright? Your eyes feel painful? Struggling with driving, especially at night? Frequent Headaches? If you answer yes to any of these, then now maybe good time to book a sight test.
Many people think that a sight test is just about checking whether your vision needs correcting with glasses or contact lenses. There are other important reasons to have a regular sight test.
A sight test is a vital check on the health of the eyes and includes the detection of eye conditions. Many of these, if found early, can be treated successfully, avoiding potential sight loss. It can also detect other health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
If you would like to book a test or have any questions
please telephone 01449 612812.

As children are back at school did you realise that many children and adults suffer from visual discomfort when reading. This can affect reading fluency, concentration and comprehension and can cause rapid fatigue. We would describe these symptoms as 'Visual Stress' or 'Meares-Irlen Syndrome.'
We have known that using colour can help relieve symptoms of reading difficulty and visual stress. Colour is used (either in the form of a coloured overlay or tinted lenses) to change the appearance of print to improve reading comfort and speed.
Feel free to call in or telephone - 01449 612812 if you have any questions.
