Did you know that around 50% of people with glaucoma are unaware they have it? 😧

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” 🤫 because it develops slowly and usually has no noticeable symptoms in the early stages.

By the time vision changes are detected, permanent damage may have already occurred.

The good news? ✨ Early detection can help protect your vision.

🌏👀 For World Glaucoma Week, we’ve put together a short blog explaining: 👁✨

• What glaucoma is 👁️
• Why eye pressure isn’t the whole story 📊
• How optometrists detect and monitor glaucoma 🔬
• Why regular eye exams are so important 🩺

📖 Read the full article on our website to learn more about protecting your long-term eye health and staying one step ahead of glaucoma.

If it’s been a while since your last eye test, this is a great reminder to book one. Your future vision will thank you. 👓✨

☀️ On the water this summer? 🌊

Polarised sunnies are a must. 😎🤙

Polarisation in sunglasses is what helps cut glare bouncing off the water, allowing you to see more clearly and comfortably — whether you’re fishing, boating or just soaking it all in from the shore.

Less squinting, better clarity, and happier eyes 🙌👀

Want to know what else to look for when choosing new sunnies?
