Happy World Book Day!

Reading helps children learn, imagine, and explore new worlds—but clear vision plays a big part in making every page enjoyable. If your child struggles to focus on words or gets tired while reading, it could be a sign they need their eyes checked.

At Boatmans Optical, we’re passionate about helping young readers see every word clearly so they can enjoy the magic of books with confidence.

Because every great story starts with great vision. ✨



Are your little ones dressing up for World Book Day?

👁️ What is an Optomap Scan – and Why Do We Recommend It? 👁️

At Boatmans Optical, your eye health is our priority — that’s why we recommend an Optomap retinal scan as part of your eye examination.

🔎 What is an Optomap scan?

An Optomap scan is an advanced digital retinal image that captures a wide-field view of the back of your eye in just seconds. Unlike traditional methods, it can show up to 200° of your retina in one image — that’s around 80% of the retina in a single scan!

💡 Why is it important?

The retina gives us vital information about your eye health — and even your general health. An Optomap scan helps us detect early signs of:

✔️ Glaucoma
✔️ Macular degeneration
✔️ Retinal tears or detachments
✔️ Diabetic eye changes
✔️ High blood pressure-related changes

Many of these conditions can develop without noticeable symptoms, so early detection is key.

📸 Quick, Comfortable & No Puff of Air

The scan is fast, non-invasive, and usually doesn’t require dilating drops — meaning you can get back to your day sooner.

✨ We recommend Optomap because it gives us a more detailed, permanent record of your eye health — allowing us to monitor even the smallest changes over time.

If you’d like to add an Optomap scan to your next appointment, just let our team know!
