💙 World Diabetes Day - Friday 14th November 💙

Today we are highlighting the important connection between diabetes and eye health.

Diabetes can increase your risk of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts, but with regular eye examinations these conditions can often be detected early and managed effectively.

At Belper Opticians, we use advanced OCT scanning technology to take detailed 3D images of the back of your eyes. This helps us identify even the smallest changes to your retina long before you notice any symptoms.

Our Eyeplan care scheme makes it simple and affordable to have regular eye health checks including OCT scans whenever you need them.

If you have diabetes, make sure to have your eyes examined at least once a year. Your vision is precious and worth protecting.

🧠 World Stroke Day – 29th October 2025 🧠

Today, we join the global effort to raise awareness of stroke — a medical emergency that can happen to anyone, at any time. Every minute counts, and recognising the early warning signs can save lives and reduce long-term effects.

At Belper Opticians, we want to highlight an important but often overlooked fact: your eyes can reveal early signs of stroke and other vascular conditions.

During a routine eye examination, our optometrists can detect subtle changes in the small blood vessels at the back of the eye — sometimes before symptoms appear elsewhere in the body. These changes can point to issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or circulation problems, all of which increase the risk of stroke.

👁️ Regular eye exams aren’t just about checking your vision — they’re an essential part of protecting your overall health.

✨ Your eyes are a window to your health — book an eye exam and take a step towards stroke prevention.

📞 Call us or book online to arrange your next appointment with Belper Opticians. Together, we can keep your vision — and your wellbeing — in focus. 01773825614 belper-opticians.co.uk

🕰️ Clocks go back 1 hour tonight!

That extra hour in bed is lovely — but it also means darker evenings and more time driving in low light. 🌙🚗

If you’ve noticed glare from headlights or struggling with night vision, it could be time to check your eyes or update your lenses. Our anti-reflection coatings can make a huge difference by reducing glare and improving clarity, especially for driving after dark. 👓✨

As the nights draw in, make sure your vision is as clear and comfortable as possible.

👀 October is Home Eye Safety Month! 🏡✨

Did you know that almost half of all eye injuries happen at home? From DIY mishaps to cooking splashes, cleaning chemicals and garden work, our eyes are more at risk around the house than we often realise.

🔍 Some eye-opening UK facts:
🇬🇧 Around 30,000 people in the UK each year need medical help for eye injuries from DIY or home improvement projects.
👧 Nearly 50% of children’s eye injuries happen at home.
⚒️ About 1,000 serious eye injuries occur in children and teenagers annually — often from play, sharp objects, or accidental trauma.

🧤 Simple steps to protect your eyes:
✅ Wear safety glasses during DIY or gardening
✅ Keep sprays and chemicals pointed away from your face
✅ Don’t rub your eyes if something gets in them — rinse with clean water instead
✅ Make sure your home lighting is bright enough to avoid strain and accidents

💡 If you do experience an eye problem — we can help.
At Belper Opticians, we offer the CUES (Community Urgent Eyecare Service) for minor eye conditions such as:
👁️ Red, sore, or watery eyes
🪶 Flashes, floaters, or sudden changes in vision
💥 Foreign bodies or minor injuries

This NHS-funded service means you can see an expert optometrist quickly — often without needing to visit your GP or A&E.

Your eyes are precious — protect them at home, and trust us to care for them when you need it most.

📍 Visit Belper Opticians or call us today for advice or to book a CUES appointment. 01773825614 belper-opticians.co.uk

👁️ Low Light & Night Driving: Eye Care Tips 🌙
As the evenings draw in after the September Equinox, many of us notice that driving at dusk or after dark feels trickier. Reduced light, glare from headlights, and even subtle changes in your vision can all affect your safety on the road.

Why Driving in Low Light is Harder

🔅 Reduced contrast – pedestrians, cyclists, and road markings are harder to spot.
✨ Headlight glare – halos and starbursts from oncoming traffic can be distracting.
⏳ Slower adaptation – eyes take longer to adjust between bright and dark areas.
👓 Vision conditions – cataracts, dry eyes, or an outdated prescription can make things worse.

How Your Optician Can Help

👁️ Eye exam – checks your prescription and eye health.
🕶️ Anti-reflective coatings – reduce glare for sharper night vision.
📋 Contrast & glare testing – picks up subtle issues that affect night driving.
🧪 Health screening – detects cataracts, glaucoma, or macular changes early.

Do’s & Don’ts for Safer Driving

✅ Do:
• Keep glasses, mirrors, and windscreen clean
• Wear the correct prescription lenses
• Use anti-reflective lenses for clearer vision
• Rest your eyes before a long journey

❌ Don’t:
• Drive with scratched or tinted lenses at night
• Ignore new symptoms like halos, glare, or blurred vision
• Put off your routine eye test

👁️ When to See Your Optician
Book an appointment if you notice:
• Increasing glare or halos from headlights
• Trouble judging distance in low light
• Needing brighter light to see clearly
• Sudden changes in night vision

👀 Did you know? 👀

Half of all sight loss is avoidable — but only if it’s caught early.
That’s why National Eye Health Week (starting today!) is so important.

This week is all about raising awareness of how vital regular eye tests are — not just for keeping your prescription up to date, but for protecting your overall health. Your optician can detect early signs of:
🔎 Glaucoma
🔎 Diabetes & high blood pressure
🔎 Macular degeneration

Most of these conditions have no early symptoms — so routine sight tests are the best way to catch them before they cause lasting damage.

Here’s how you can protect your eyes:
✅ Book a sight test every 2 years (or as advised)
😎 Wear UV-blocking sunglasses — even on cloudy days
💻 Take screen breaks to reduce digital eye strain
🥗 Eat for your eyes — leafy greens & omega-3s support long-term eye health

👓 This National Eye Health Week, take a moment to prioritise your vision — your future self will thank you.
