Did you know that a comprehensive eye examination can often detect issues with your general health such as raised Blood Pressure , Diabetes, elevated Cholesterol levels as well as aiding the early detection of eye conditions which could lead to sight loss. Conditions such as Glaucoma are generally painless and impact peripheral vision before central vision, hence making them harder to self report. The eye is the only place in the body where you can observe blood vessels without making a cut. That's why an eye examination can often tell a lot about your general health. So, this do not only your eyes but your body a favour, book that eye examination. info@cookeopticians.ie ☎️0719170169.

We are delighted to be stockist of this wonderful product . We have known and been advising our patients for some time, of the benefits of taking a carotenoid rich supplement to support Macular health, especially those at greater risk of Macular Degeneration. Research into cognitive function has shown the positive link between higher levels of carotenoids in the eye and better cognitive performance across all ages. Omega -3 fatty acids play a vital role in maintaining brain structure and function. They also play a significant role in supporting our vision and helping with Dry eye symptoms. Vitamin E is a very important antioxidant that protects the cells of the body from oxidative stress. ReMind combines all three... carotenoids, omega -3 fatty acids and Vitamin E to deliver powerful synergistic benefit to your eyes, your heart and your brain . Ask our Optometrists for more information on the important roll nutrition plays in protecting your vision.

We have waited patiently, now,TODAY IS OUR DAY🎉🎉. It's World Optometry Day. As we are a little bit obsessed about eyes, yours in particular, today is really important to us 😍. We are passionate about educating our patients on the importance of looking after their vision and especially their ocular health. Regular eye examinations give us the opportunity to detect changes in eye health as early as possible so they can be diagnosed, investigated and treated in a timely manner. It also gives us an opportunity to update our patients on any new thinkings in the world of eye care such as current thinking on correct nutrition to keep eyes happy and healthy. So, if World Optometry Day raises awareness of the importance of eyecare and saves the sight of just one person, then that's a day worth celebrating. Make today your eye's day. Book that appointment. Email us at info@cookeopticians.ie, message us on Instagram or call us 0719170169.

An Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan is the latest piece of technology in the fight for early Glucoma detection. While looking at a series of targets, the OCT scans the various structures in your retina that can be impacted in early Glaucoma. Nothing touches your eye so the test is quick and painless. Measuring to nanometer precision, the results allow for suble changes in nerve structure to be detected leading to the possibility of earlier detection, earlier treatment and less impact on sight. Call us today to arrange your eye examination. 0729170169

Glaucoma is often referred to as "The sneaky thief of sight" as changes in your vision can start peripherally. A visual field test checks the sensitivity of your peripheral vision which indicates the integrity of your optic nerve function. All of this information can help build a picture of how healthly your optic nerve is. The test usually lasts 5-10 minutes and is painless. If you have any concerns about your ocular health and conditions such as Glaucoma, call us to arrange an eye examination. Remember, you may be entitled to a free examination via your medical card or PRSI contributions. We can check this on your behalf. Call us on 0719170169.

Having the pressure of your eye checked is one way we can screen for Glaucoma. Understandably, this can seem a little daunting or scary if you are having this done for the first time. Here , we use an I-care tonometer to check your eye pressure. This hand held device allows us to take multiple readings from each eye in seconds. No drops are required, no blurred vision afterwards. This , don't let fear put you off doing the right thing for you and your vision. Call us today to arrange your eye examination 0719170169.
