Did you know that 1 in 3 people in the UK are short-sighted (myopic)?
Myopia usually begins in childhood and can worsen as their eyes grow. But with myopia management, we can help slow this progression!

At Annette Dobbs Eyecare, we run a dedicated Myopia Management Clinic, offering solutions including specially designed glasses and contact lenses. 👓

The aim is to reduce how quickly a child's prescription increases, which can in turn lower the risk of myopia related eye conditions such as glaucoma and retinal detachment.

Many people only think about booking an eye exam when their vision becomes blurry, but eye tests are about much more than just seeing clearly. Regular eye examinations play a vital role in protecting both your vision and your overall health.

Eye tests can detect problems long before you notice any symptoms. Conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease often develop silently, and early detection can prevent permanent vision loss. An eye exam can also reveal signs of wider health issues, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and even some neurological conditions.

Children and older adults especially benefit from regular eye tests, but everyone should have their eyes checked routinely, even if their vision feels “fine.”

Looking after your eyes is an investment in your quality of life. A simple eye test can help keep you seeing clearly, comfortably, and confidently for years to come.
