Did you know? 👀

Nearly half of the world’s population wears glasses.

That’s over four billion people worldwide — so if you’ve ever worried about “standing out” in glasses, you’re very much not alone. For many of us, they’re simply part of everyday life.

There’s no rush when it comes to choosing glasses.

Trying things on, changing your mind, narrowing it down… it’s all part of the process.

What's the longest time you've spent choosing that 'perfect pair'?

We’re proud to be stockists of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

A modern classic design, combined with clever built-in technology — discreet, lightweight, and designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.

If you’re curious about how they work, how they feel to wear, or whether they’re right for you, we’re always happy to talk it through and show you in person.

Sometimes it’s easier to experience these things properly, rather than just read about them online.

If you’ve ever thought about contact lenses but felt a bit unsure, you’re not alone.

A lot of people worry about using them for the first time — especially the whole putting them in part. That’s exactly why we take the time to guide you through it properly, step by step, until you feel comfortable and confident.

No pressure, no rushing, and no such thing as a silly question.

If contact lenses are something you’ve been curious about, we’re always happy to have a chat.

❤️ National Heart Month ❤️

February is National Heart Month, and did you know your eyes can sometimes offer early clues about your heart and circulation health?

During a routine eye examination, certain changes in the blood vessels at the back of the eye can occasionally highlight wider health concerns — even when your vision feels perfectly fine.

It’s just one of the many reasons regular eye tests matter. Your eyes really can be a window to your overall health 👀

If you’re due a check-up, it might be worth booking one in.

A huge thank you to the lovely Charmagne for the photography on our new website 📸✨

She took so many incredible shots that choosing which ones to use was genuinely harder than picking new frames (and that’s saying something 😅). The photos perfectly capture the feel of the practice, and we couldn’t be happier with how it all came together.

If you’re looking for a photographer, we honestly can’t recommend her enough — you can check out her work here

👁️ QUICK QUESTION
When was your last eye test?

❤️ Less than a year ago
👍 1–2 years ago
😂 I honestly can’t remember

Most people don’t notice small changes in their vision until they’ve already adapted to them — which is why regular eye tests matter, even when your eyesight feels “fine”.
