That awkward moment when you clean your glasses… and discover it was the windows all along. 👓😅

On the bright side, the lenses are sparkling.

If cleaning your lenses does not improve the view, it may be worth checking when your next eye examination is due. Follow the interval recommended by your optometrist.

Summer eye-care reminder: contact lenses and water do not mix 💧👁️

Swimming pools, hot tubs, the sea and even shower water can expose contact lenses to microorganisms that may cause serious eye infections. The safest approach is to remove your lenses before swimming, showering or using a hot tub, and never rinse lenses or their case with tap water.

If you need clear vision in the water, ask your optometrist about prescription swimming goggles or other suitable options.

If an eye becomes red, painful, sensitive to light or your vision blurs, remove the lenses and seek urgent professional advice.

Your iris is far more than just your eye colour 👁️

The iris is the coloured ring surrounding the pupil, and it works a little like the aperture of a camera. In bright conditions, it makes the pupil smaller. In darker conditions, it allows the pupil to widen so more light can enter the eye.

The amount and distribution of pigment within the iris help determine whether your eyes appear blue, green, hazel or brown. Its intricate pattern is also highly distinctive to each person.

Your iris may be small, but it plays a major role in helping you see comfortably in changing light.

**Sun cream protects their skin. Sunglasses protect their eyes.**

With the summer holidays here, children are spending more time outdoors - but many parents forget that young eyes need UV protection too.

Look for children’s sunglasses with proper UV protection, ideally marked **CE, UKCA or ISO 12312-1**.

☀️ The sunshine may feel harmless, but your eyes still need protection.

Bright sunlight does more than make you squint. UV exposure can contribute to long-term eye damage, even on days that do not feel especially hot.

That is why sunglasses should be more than a fashion accessory.

Look for sunglasses that provide proper UVA and UVB protection, fit comfortably and give good coverage around the eyes. Dark lenses alone are not enough - the UV protection is what matters.

Children’s eyes also need protection, so do not forget sunglasses for younger family members too.

Pop in and let us help you choose sunglasses that protect your eyes properly while still looking great.

😎 Protect your eyes. Enjoy the sunshine safely.

📚 Could your child’s vision be affecting their learning?

Children don’t always realise their eyesight isn’t as clear as it should be, because they’ve never known any different.

Signs to look out for:

📖 Struggling with reading
😣 Frequent headaches
📺 Sitting very close to screens
🙈 Squinting or rubbing their eyes

If you’re concerned, a children’s eye test can help give you peace of mind.
