✨ Dry January 2026 ✨

Thinking of taking part in Dry January? Giving up alcohol for the month can bring some brilliant benefits for your overall health – including your eyes 👀

😴 Improved sleep – good rest supports eye health and reduces tired, strained eyes
🧠 Sharper focus & concentration – feel clearer and more energised day to day
❤️ Healthier habits – a great reset to start 2026 feeling your best

Cutting back on alcohol can help you feel refreshed, focused and more in tune with your wellbeing – and your eyes will thank you too.

Here’s to a healthier start to the year 💙
If your eyes are still feeling dry or uncomfortable, we’re always here to help.
