When was your last eye test? 👀

Your vision can change gradually — sometimes without any obvious symptoms. That’s why regular eye exams are essential for protecting long-term eye health.

At Arthur Hayes Opticians, every eye test includes OCT and Optomap scanning as standard.

These advanced imaging tools allow us to detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal changes long before you notice any changes yourself.

• Clearer insight
• Earlier detection
• Better peace of mind

Book your comprehensive eye examination today — your future self will thank you.

Understanding the Impact of Blue Light

Screens are a massive part of modern life — gaming, work, smartphones, VR… our eyes never stop.
But blue light isn't the villain you may have heard about.

• It doesn’t damage your eyes
• It can cause digital eye strain and disrupt sleep
• Evening blue light blocks melatonin, making it harder to switch off

Our latest blog breaks it all down — myths vs reality — and includes simple habits to protect your eyes without ditching your devices.

See Clearly. Choose Safely

Thinking of wearing costume or coloured contact lenses for a night out, a themed event, or Halloween? Before you transform your eyes into vampire red or witchy green… read this.

Costume lenses aren’t just an accessory — they are medical devices. Whether prescription or non-prescription, they must fit your eye properly to avoid discomfort, infection, or long-term damage.

• Lenses can change your eye colour or give movie-style effects
• Available in prescription or non-prescription versions
⚠️ MUST be fitted and supplied by an eye care professional
⚠️ Poor-quality or ill-fitting lenses can cause infection, scratches, or vision loss

Only buy from reputable opticians — never from novelty stores or unverified websites. Your eyes deserve better than a bargain.

Treat them like regular contact lenses: clean properly, store safely, and follow the wear-time instructions.

Want the look without risking your sight? Read our full blog for essential safety advice and expert guidance.
