🎄✨ Ivy the Elf’s Summer Eye‑Spy! ✨🎄

Ivy the Elf has been busy exploring the practice again, and today she’s taken a special interest in the eye drops display. With summer in full swing, she’s noticed just how many patients are mentioning dry, irritated eyes — and she knows exactly why.

Between the hot weather, salty breezes, and hours spent hiding in air‑conditioning, eyes can become dry, scratchy, and uncomfortable. Ivy may be tiny, but even she knows that dry eyes are especially common this time of year and the right drops can make a big difference.

💧 She wants everyone to know: if your eyes are feeling tired, gritty, or blurry after a day in the cool air‑con, it might be time to chat with the team about the best hydrating drops for relief.

🫧 Ivy the Elf was caught having a well‑earned bubble bath today! 🫧
While the team was run off their feet, Ivy decided she’d earned a little “self‑care time” after all the advice she handed out last week.

From helping with foreign body removal tips, explaining the magic of polarised and Sensity lenses, and even reminding everyone to add leafy greens to their diet for better eye health… our tiny consultant has been very busy.

So today? Bubbles, bliss, and absolutely no responsibilities for Ivy.
We’ll let her enjoy it… just this once.

🎄✨ Ivy has brought her SIX trusty “reindeer” cleaning sprays! ✨🎄
From Dasher the De‑Smudger to Prancer the Polisher, Ivy’s been trotting around the practice making sure every pair of glasses is crystal clear.

And because she’s all about spreading Christmas cheer (and keeping lenses spotless), Ivy wants to remind everyone to

💚 Bring back your empty Bay Optics cleaning spray bottles and we’ll refill them for FREE.
No catches, no fuss — just a simple way we can help you keep your eyewear looking its best while reducing waste.

✨ Ivy the Elf is back on duty! ✨
After a strong morning coffee, our mischievous little helper was wide awake and ready to dish out some expert advice on Sensity lenses today.

Whether you’re curious about light‑adaptive lenses or just love seeing what Ivy gets up to, she’s here to brighten your day and your vision.

🎄👓 Ivy the Elf is at it again! Today she’s decided to play a round of Operation… but with a twist. Instead of the usual tweezers, she’s snuck off with our optometrist tweezers they use for foreign body and lash removals!

Looks like she’s testing her steady hands and precision skills—though we think she’d better leave the real eye work to the professionals. 😉

🕶️ Ivy the Elf knows how to shine in style! 🕶️✨

Today she’s stepping out in her sunnies—not just because they look fabulous, but because they protect her eyes too!

☀️ Sunglasses aren’t only a fashion statement. They help shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, reduce glare, and keep you comfortable whether you’re at the beach, driving, or enjoying summer fun.

Ivy says: “Protect your peepers, and you’ll sparkle brighter all season long!” 🌟

So next time you head outdoors, grab your sunnies and join Ivy in making eye health a priority.

✨👀 Ivy the Elf’s Green Reminder! 🥦✨

Today Ivy decided to dress up as… broccoli! Why? Because she wants to remind us all that leafy greens aren’t just tasty—they’re a superpower for our eyes. 💚

Spinach, kale, and yes, even broccoli, are packed with nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin that help keep our vision sharp and healthy.

So next time you’re planning a meal, take a leaf out of Ivy’s book—add a splash of green to your plate 🥦✨
