Bold colour. Playful design. Effortless individuality.

We’re loving this standout frame from Woodys 👓

👶✨ Protecting Little Eyes Starts Early ✨👁️

Did you know? Healthy screen habits in early childhood can make a big difference to your child’s development and eye health.

👶 Under 2 years:
🚫 Avoid screen time (except for shared, interactive moments)

🧒 Ages 2–5:
⏱️ Keep screen time to under 1 hour per day

💡 Top tips for healthy habits:
• No screens during mealtimes 🍽️
• Avoid screens 1 hour before bed 🌙
• Encourage play, conversation & connection ❤️
• Get outside for natural light ☀️

It’s not just about protecting their eyes — it’s about supporting their learning, sleep, and wellbeing too.

Meet Maria our receptionist and contact lens administrator.

How long have you worked at Millicans and Mansfield Opticians?
Just over 4 years, I've joined Mansfield Opticians in summer 2021

What’s the most common question patients ask you?
Can I book an appointment? 😛

What’s your go-to tip for someone choosing new glasses?
Go for comfort AND style. Remember, it will be on your nose and ears most of the day and will last at least a year. Your glasses should represent your individuality!

Favourite thing to do on a weekend?
I like to start my weekend at Shepton's parkrun (if I'm not working), generally I'll try to be outdoors as much as possible to let my eyes rest from the screen.

👁️ Menopause and dry eyes — there’s a link.

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect the tear film that keeps your eyes comfortable. As oestrogen levels change, many people notice symptoms of dry eye.

Common signs include:
• Gritty or dry feeling
• Burning or stinging
• Redness
• Blurred or fluctuating vision
• Watery eyes

Dry eye is very common during menopause, but treatment can help.

If your eyes feel constantly irritated or tired, an eye examination can assess your tear film and help find the right treatment.
