👁️ March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month 👁️

Your eyes work hard — so make sure they’re properly protected.

We stock a range of plastic and metal safety frames, suitable for prescription lenses, designed to keep your eyes safe in the workplace.

Let’s be honest… they might not win any fashion awards 😅 but they will protect your vision — and that’s far more important.

✔️ Reduce the risk of workplace eye injuries
✔️ Keep your prescription up to date
✔️ Stay compliant with workplace safety regulations
✔️ Protect your sight for the long term

If you work on screens, in workshops, on-site, or in environments where eye protection is essential, regular eye examinations are key.

📅 Book your eye test this March and keep your vision safe on the job.

Because looking cool is great… but seeing clearly is better. 👓✨

As we come to the end of February, we wanted to highlight Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month 💚

AMD can affect central vision, making everyday tasks like reading, driving and recognising faces more difficult. Symptoms can include blurred or distorted vision, difficulty seeing fine detail, or straight lines appearing wavy.

✨ Early detection is key. Many changes can be picked up before you even notice symptoms, which is why regular eye examinations are so important.

At Robert Frith Optometrists, we use advanced OCT technology to carry out detailed retinal scans. Our OCT machine allows us to look beneath the surface of the retina, helping us detect and monitor changes at a much earlier stage.

If you’ve noticed any changes in your vision, or if it’s time for your routine eye examination, please don’t delay — your sight matters.

📞 Contact us to book your appointment.
