🌒 A solar eclipse is coming! ☀️👁️

On Wednesday 12th August 2026, a partial solar eclipse will be visible across the UK.

It might be tempting to look up and catch a glimpse, but never look directly at the Sun during an eclipse — even for a few seconds. Regular sunglasses won’t protect your eyes either.

If you’re planning to watch, make sure you’re using certified eclipse glasses or a safe indirect viewing method.

Swipe through for our tips on enjoying the eclipse while keeping your eyes protected. 👉

Enjoy the view, protect your vision. 💗

Dry eyes are more common than many people realise – but they don’t have to be something you simply put up with. 👁️✨

These before and after images show the difference ZEST® treatment can make by removing debris, bacteria and build-up from the eyelid margins, helping to improve eyelid health and relieve dry eye symptoms.

If you experience:
💧 Dry or gritty eyes
💧 Burning or irritation
💧 Watery eyes
💧 Redness
💧 Blurred or fluctuating vision

…it may be time for a dry eye assessment.

At While Opticians, we offer personalised dry eye management, including advanced ZEST® treatment, to help keep your eyes comfortable and healthy.

📞 Contact us today to book your dry eye consultation.

Don’t let the heatwave stop you from having your eyes checked!

With the UV levels sky high, it’s all the more important to protect your eyes from the sun with proper sunglasses and eyecare. There are lots of fake sunglasses out there which you might think are protecting your eyes from UV but have no UV block in them!

At While, we’re here to make your visit as comfortable and relaxed as possible, so you can focus on getting your eyes sorted!
