Blue Monday? 💙 Cheer yourself up with some beautiful blues - blue skies, blue seas, blue glasses!

Have you tried blue frames before? Blue can look fab on those with cool skin tones or cool blonde hair. Opting for a translucent frame can be a great way to experiment with a coloured frame. We have styles in soft, subtle shades, as well as dramatic, bold options for the more daring!

Fancy giving blue a try? Ask our team to show you our beautiful blues!

We’re setting the record straight! Swipe through as we debunk 5 common eye health myths—it’s time to see the truth clearly. Which myth surprised you the most?

1. You only need an eye exam if you notice vision problems.
Truth: Regular eye exams can detect underlying issues like glaucoma or diabetes before symptoms appear.

2. Contact lenses can get stuck behind your eye.
Truth: It’s physically impossible for a contact lens to move behind your eyeball.

3. Children don't need eye tests until they can read.
Truth: Kids should have regular eye exams from a young age to detect potential issues early.

4. 20/20 vision means perfect eye health.
Truth: 20/20 vision refers to clarity at a certain distance but doesn’t account for other eye health factors.

5. It’s normal to lose vision as you age, and nothing can be done.
Truth: While age-related changes are common, many issues can be managed or treated with proper care.

Our team are always happy to answer any questions you have about eye health and vision, so should you have any concerns or queries, just ask!

Did you know that you can only find Wolf in independent opticians? Both Eye Folk and our sister optician Eye Deal (in Deal!) stock this great British brand that offers original designs for both adults and kids - from bold to understated.

We’re able to send frames between our stores, and we can also order specific styles should you spot some specs you simply have to try!

If you’re due an eye test then book one in, and follow up with our friendly dispensing team who will help you choose the perfect pair.

Got a prescription from elsewhere? No problem, just bring it along with you!

Wondering about the cost of visiting the optician? Let us break it down and make it easy for you!

👁️ Private Eye Tests: Our comprehensive eye test, including an advanced OCT scan to check your eye health in detail, is £65.

💡 Free NHS Eye Tests: You might qualify for a free NHS test if you meet certain criteria (e.g., you’re over 60, under 16, or on certain benefits). The full list is on our website, or message us if you’d like to check your eligibility.

💻 Employer-Paid Tests: If you use a computer or display screen equipment regularly for work, your employer may cover the cost of your eye test, and spectacles if you need them specifically for your display screen work.

👓 Children’s Eye Care: All children are eligible for free NHS eye tests and vouchers to help with the cost of their glasses.

🎯 Frames for Every Budget: We have a wide selection of frames at different price points. Let us know your budget, and we’ll help you find something perfect.

💳 Payment Plans: Our interest-free payment plan option means you can spread the cost of your glasses into manageable instalments, so you don’t have to wait to get the vision correction you need.

Got questions about costs? Just ask! We’re happy to chat and make sure you feel confident and comfortable with all the options.
