We understand that with busy lives, scheduling a regular eye examination can often slip down the priority list, especially if your vision feels fine. Many people only think of an eye exam when it's time for new glasses.

However, we cannot overstate the importance of staying up-to-date with your routine eye checks. A comprehensive eye exam is a vital tool for both your eye health and your general health. It allows us to detect underlying issues that show no immediate symptoms, sometimes even before you notice a change in your vision.

Don't just take our word for it. The recent experiences of our patients powerfully illustrate why these regular appointments are so critical.

While we are always here for urgent situations like these, and the local NI PEARS scheme makes emergency eye care easily accessible, our greatest hope is to see you during your regular, proactive check-ups. We prefer to help you prevent sensitive situations rather than having to respond to them.

Thank you to both Chloe and Fynan for sharing their experiences, we are very glad you visited us when you did.

👻 Happy Halloween Half-Term! 🎃

With the Halloween half-term break just around the corner, don't forget the power of getting outdoors! It's one of the best things you can do for your child's eyes. Studies show that spending time outside can help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in kids.

To make it extra fun, we've created a special Halloween Eye Spy checklist for your next walk!

Grab your coats, find those autumn leaves, spot a pumpkin, and give those eyes a healthy, natural break!

⚠️ ATTENTION SPOOKY COSTUME PLANNERS! ⚠️

Cosmetic contact lenses are a popular accessory this time of year, often used by people who have never worn contacts before. They might look cool, but they come with real risks.

At Mackey Opticians, we DO NOT recommend or sell novelty cosmetic contact lenses. We only recommend using contact lenses that have been provided by, and properly fitted by an optometrist. Lenses purchased from costume shops, markets, or online without a prescription can seriously harm your eyes.

BUT we understand the lure of a truly terrifying look is strong! If you are planning to wear non-prescription lenses, your eye safety is our number one priority.

We've created an essential guide packed with crucial DOs and DON'Ts to help drastically reduce the risk of a frightful eye incident that could ruin your fun.

Learn how to clean, handle, and wear them safely:
