April is Stress Awareness Month…
and your eyes might be feeling it before you realise.

Tired eyes.
Blurred vision.
Headaches.

It’s not always your prescription — it could be stress.

When you’re under pressure, your brain works harder to process what you see.
That means your eyes are working harder too.

Watch for the signs:
• Eye strain
• Fluctuating vision
• Light sensitivity
• Headaches
• Eye twitching

Small changes = big impact:
Better sleep. Screen breaks. Hydration. Fresh air.

But if something feels off — don’t ignore it.

Book your eye test today - advanced eye examinations available

Today is World Hearing Day — a reminder that hearing health matters at every age.

Did you know that millions of children and teenagers worldwide live with hearing loss, and many never receive the support they need?

As parents, it’s not always easy to spot the signs. You might notice:

• Frequently asking for repetition
• Difficulty concentrating or keeping up at school
• Complaints of ear discomfort
• Delayed speech or unclear pronunciation

Early assessment can make a significant difference. Simple treatments and timely support can protect development, confidence and learning.

At Arthur Hayes Opticians, our Friday Hearing Clinics now offer professional hearing assessments in partnership with experienced audiologists.

If you have any concerns — for your child or yourself — don’t delay.
