☀️ Solar Eclipse Safety Advice

On Wednesday 12 August, the UK will experience a spectacular partial solar eclipse, with up to 96% of the Sun covered.

But remember — even during an eclipse, looking directly at the Sun can cause permanent eye damage. 👁️

🔸 Never look directly at the Sun, even through sunglasses.
🔸 Never use binoculars, telescopes or cameras to view the eclipse directly.
🔸 If viewing directly, use CE or UKCA-marked eclipse glasses and check they are undamaged.
🔸 For a completely safe option, watch via a livestream or TV broadcast, or use a pinhole projector.

Protect your eyes and enjoy the eclipse safely. 🌙✨

😎 See the difference with polarised lenses.

Not all sunglasses are created equal. While ordinary sunglasses simply darken your vision, polarised lenses are designed to reduce reflected glare from surfaces like water, roads, and sand—giving you clearer, sharper vision and greater comfort.

Whether you're driving, fishing, boating, enjoying the beach, or simply spending time outdoors, polarised lenses help you:
✔️ Reduce distracting glare
✔️ Enhance colour and contrast
✔️ See more clearly and comfortably
✔️ Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays

Experience the difference for yourself and discover why polarised sunglasses are a must-have for sunny days.

📅 Visit us in practice or book an appointment to explore our range of polarised sunglasses and find the perfect pair for your lifestyle.
