For those who want to know which part of the eye this is....

These are the outline (boundary) of the pupil. The “inner circle” of the iris. The black in the image above is the pupil. The “fingers and hair” are part of the iris.

You’re welcome! 😊

At 1000× magnification, the human eye stops looking smooth and familiar.
What appears soft and invisible at normal scale becomes a landscape of ridges, folds, and translucent structures.
These pink, finger-like forms are part of the eye’s microscopic anatomy, normally hidden beneath eyelashes and skin.
Up close, the eye looks less like a lens and more like living tissue shaped by constant motion and moisture.
This extreme zoom reveals how complex and biological vision truly is, far beyond what we ever notice.

"a man of a 1000 words when 500 would do" 🤣🤣 surely this is not Fizz we are talking about. 🤣🤣
Safe to say he hasn't changed!
At least you know Fizz will explain everything about your eyes before you leave, after you have caught up with what going on in the world 😜

A lovely gesture from a lovely new patient who visited us following a recommendation from a friend. Pleased we exceeded her expectations.

**First rule of FIGHTCLUB...you don't talk about FIGHTCLUB**

This young man is an aspiring Boxer. His dad brought him to us as his vision was deteriorating and as a result he was losing confidence both in and out of the ring.

We offered him contact lenses which at first he refused. After some convincing he agreed but was unsuccessful as he really struggled to get them in and out.

We didn't give up on him and after a few more learning session, he finally cracked it!

Just look at the bounce in his spirit, he's bobbing and weaving and putting Fizz in his place.

Moral of the story: never give up

The Fizz Feeling when you are about to log off " Out Of Office" 🤣😂😜

Its been a very long but happy year in practice, with some great achievements....we have helped save lives, change lives, nourish lives all through professional and caring atmosphere we try to create

Thank-you to all of our patients old and new for your continued support, for trusting in us and for "shopping local"

Thank you to all our suppliers for providing great products and excellent service.

And finally a big big thank you to for stepping up and making sure everything runs smoothly for you all. She has come in early, stayed behind late and done lots of extra days. We'd be lost without her 🥰😍❤️
She epitomises team work and dedication! What a remarkable Colleague and Friend.

We are planning some new and exciting changes for 2026, so watch this space.
It started with our new colleague Kieran who has hit the ground running and done an amazing job in helping Denise and Fizz stay on top of things. We look forward to her growing and flourishing into the new role she has taken in her stride.
This year has finished with the amazing installation of new window and doors. We will update some pictures in due course.

We will now be closed from 21-28th of December. If you have any urgent needs please leave us a voicemail message or an email as these will still be checked regularly.

We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a very prosperous and Happy New Year
