Our lovely audiologist Christin recently treated herself to a stunning pair of Tom Ford frames and had them fitted with custom varifocal lenses… and she couldn't be happier! 😍

Varifocals are a great option if you need help seeing both near and far – they seamlessly combine distance, intermediate, and reading prescriptions in one lens, with no visible line like bifocals.

✔️ No need to switch between multiple pairs
✔️ Smooth, natural vision at all distances
✔️ Perfect for busy, on-the-go professionals like Christin!

Thinking about varifocals or upgrading your glasses? Come and see us we’re here to help!

Glaucoma is often described as the ‘invisible disease’ or ‘silent thief’ because it causes gradual but symptomless sight loss that can go unnoticed until it’s too late to reverse.
Glaucoma affects around 700,000 people in the UK. In fact, studies show that half of all cases are currently undiagnosed.

But treatment and regular check-ups can help slow or prevent sight loss, especially if glaucoma is found early, allowing patients to lead the life they want with minimal symptoms.
What you can do
✔Make sure you are having a regular sight test with your optician every two years, or more often if that has been recommended by your optometrist
✔Remind family and friends of the importance of having regularly sight tests – to check the health of the eye, spot signs of general health conditions and eye disease including glaucoma.
