💙 World Diabetes Day - Friday 14th November 💙

Today we are raising awareness of 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 Parker Opticians, we use advanced OCT scanning technology to capture detailed 3D images of the back of your eyes. This allows us to 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.

Update - We will be Open as normal tomorrow morning, Friday 7th November 9am

We have now cleaned up the mess left over from the break in, we are still assessing what has been taken but we know for confident the Poppy collection tin has been taken along with some Ray-ban Sunglasses. The loss of the Poppy tin feels especially upsetting given its purpose and the time of year.

Thank you, truly, to everyone who has reached out with kind words, support, and offers of help today. Your messages have meant more than we can say. Parker Opticians has always been about community - and even in moments like this, you’ve reminded us of just how strong that community is.

Important Notice - Please share

Unfortunately Parker Opticians will be closed today Thursday 6th November. Around 4am this morning we suffered a break in. We are still waiting to be allowed in by the police to fully assess the situation.

We are feeling incredibly upset and shocked. This practice isn’t just a building to us - it’s a place where we care for our community, where we know your faces, your families, your stories. To see it violated like this is deeply painful.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your support while we process what has happened and work to put things right. We will update everyone as soon as we know more.

If you have any information please feel free to send us a message or call 101 stating crime reference 121-061125

🧠 World Stroke Day – 29th October 2025 🧠

Today, on World Stroke Day, we’re joining the global effort to raise awareness about stroke — a condition that can affect anyone, at any age. Recognising the early warning signs and taking proactive steps can make a life-changing difference.

At Parker Opticians, we want to remind everyone that your eyes can tell us far more than how well you see. During a routine eye examination, our optometrists can often detect subtle changes in the small blood vessels at the back of the eye — changes that can indicate underlying health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or circulatory problems. These conditions can all increase your risk of stroke.

👁️ That’s why regular eye exams are so important — they help protect not just your vision, but your overall health too.

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

If it’s been more than two years since your last eye test, now is the perfect time to get checked. Prevention and early detection can make all the difference.

📞 Contact Parker Opticians or book online to arrange your next appointment. Together, we’ll help keep your vision — and your wellbeing — in focus. 01246 823242 https://parkeropticians.co.uk/

👀 October is Home Eye Safety Month! 🏡✨

Did you know that almost half of all eye injuries happen at home? From DIY accidents to cooking splashes, cleaning products and gardening, our eyes face more everyday risks than we often realise.

🔍 Some eye-opening UK facts:
🇬🇧 Around 30,000 people in the UK each year need medical help for eye injuries caused by 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 every year — 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 prevent strain and accidents

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

This NHS-funded service provides quick access to professional eye care — often without needing to visit your GP or A&E.

Your eyes are precious — protect them at home, and trust Parker Opticians to look after them when you need it most.

📍 Visit us or call today for advice or to book a CUES appointment. 01246 823242 parkeropticians.co.uk

👀 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.
