🍷🧀 Happy National Wine & Cheese Day! 🧀🍷

It’s the perfect excuse to indulge in two of life’s finest pleasures — but did you know that some cheeses can actually be good for your eyes?

🧀 Cheddar, Swiss, and mozzarella are rich in zinc, which helps bring vitamin A from the liver to the retina, supporting night vision and overall eye health.
🍇 Pair with grapes (or a glass of red wine — in moderation!) and you’ve got an antioxidant-rich treat that your eyes might just thank you for.

So, here’s to celebrating the finer things — in flavour and in vision. 👓

🏊♀️💧 It’s National Swimming Pool Day! 💧🏊♂️

Ever tried swimming when you can’t see properly?
Glasses in the pool? Not ideal.

Blurry vision while you try to keep up with the kids or swim a few lengths? Frustrating!

💡 That’s where EyeDream comes in.

EyeDream lenses are worn overnight while you sleep, gently reshaping your eyes to correct your vision — meaning you wake up with clear sight all day, no glasses or lenses needed.

Perfect for swimmers, athletes, and anyone wanting freedom from daytime eyewear (without surgery).

Curious about whether it could work for you or your child?
Come and chat to us — we’d love to explain more.

🍫👀 Happy World Chocolate Day! 👀🍫
Here’s a sweet fact — dark chocolate can actually be good for your eyes! (In moderation, of course...😉)

Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, including flavonoids, which are thought to help improve blood flow to the retina and may support overall eye health. Some studies suggest it can even give a temporary boost to contrast sensitivity — helping you pick out finer details.

While it’s no substitute for regular eye care, we fully support celebrating with a little square (or two) today. ✨

🍫 Good for the soul… and maybe your eyes.
