See what your eyes can’t tell you!
Your vision might feel fine, but some eye conditions develop silently – with no symptoms until it’s too late. That’s where an OCT scan comes in.

This quick, painless scan gives us a detailed, 3D view of the back of your eye, helping us detect early signs of:
• Glaucoma
• Macular degeneration
• Diabetic retinopathy

Early detection = early protection. It only takes a few minutes, but it could save your sight.

Winter = dry air = dry eyes
Feeling like there’s sand in your eyes lately? You’re not imagining it. Cold, dry winter air (and indoor heating!) can cause or worsen dry eyes, leaving them red, itchy, gritty and uncomfortable.
Here are 5 quick tips to soothe winter dry eyes:
1. Use preservative-free lubricating drops
2. Avoid sitting too close to heaters
3. Use a humidifier indoors
4. Wear wrap-around sunglasses outside
5. Take regular screen breaks.

Still struggling? Let’s treat the cause – not just the symptoms.

Is your child struggling to read, concentrate, or stay focused in class?
It could be more than just a learning issue – it might be a visual one. Weaknesses in eye tracking, focus, or visual processing can seriously affect reading and learning.

At Tomlinson Optometrists, we identify and treat these hidden vision problems that often go unnoticed in standard eye tests.

Did you know light can help heal your eyes?
During integrated light therapy, patients sit in a darkened room and view a light source while wearing coloured filter goggles for 20 minutes over 20 sessions. This gentle treatment helps improve specific vision conditions, such as visual fatigue, amblyopia (lazy eye), tracking, reading difficulties, peripheral awareness and strabismus (eye turn), with the colour and wavelength tailored to your needs.

Diabetes and your eyes ...
Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar - it can also impact your eyesight. Diabetic Retinopathy is a serious eye condition caused by high blood sugar damaging the blood vessels in the retina, which leads to blurred vision, floaters, or even vision loss if left untreated.

When should you book an appointment?
- If you have diabetes, even if your vision seems fine
- If you notice blurry vision, dark spots, or sudden changes in sight
- If it’s been over a year since your last comprehensive eye exam

Regular eye screenings are essential to detect and manage Diabetic Retinopathy before it affects your vision permanently. Book your eye exam today!
