Before the year draws to a close, ask yourself:
When was your last eye exam?

Regular check-ups are one of the best ways to protect your sight — especially as small changes often go unnoticed day to day.

If you're due, it's a great time to book ahead for 2026 so you start the year with healthy, comfortable vision.
We'll be here to help every step of the way.

𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵?
Your eyes often feel it too.

Post-Christmas fatigue can trigger:
• Dryness
• Irritation
• Fluctuating focus
• More difficulty with screens
• Increased sensitivity to light

A few small steps can help reset things:
• Stay hydrated
• Get fresh air
• Blink more when on screens
• Give yourself some early nights

If your eyes are still feeling uncomfortable after a few days, we're happy to take a look.

Winter sun sits lower in the sky and can be surprisingly bright — especially with wet roads or frost creating extra glare.

UV protection matters all year round, and sunglasses can make winter walks far more comfortable.

undefinedA quick winter tip that many drivers overlook:

Clean your windscreen — inside and out.
A film builds up on the inside of the glass over time, scattering light and causing glare from headlights and streetlights.

𝗔 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀:
• Reduce glare
• Improve night driving comfort
• Make vision clearer and more relaxed
• Keep journeys safer for everyone

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗲 "𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀" 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 — little dots, cobwebs or specks drifting across their vision. They're usually harmless and caused by tiny fibres inside the eye.

However, it's important to know when floaters are not normal.

👉 Seek urgent attention if:
• You suddenly see lots more floaters
• You experience flashes of light
• Your vision becomes shadowed or blurry on one side
• You notice a "curtain" effect over your vision

These could be early signs of a retinal issue, and quick treatment makes all the difference.
If you're ever unsure, it's always better to get checked — we're here to help.

To keep young eyes healthy, try these simple steps:
• Encourage screens to be at least an arm's length away
• Take breaks during long gaming sessions
• Ensure good lighting to reduce glare
• Watch for signs like rubbing eyes or sitting too close

Children rarely tell you their vision is struggling — they adapt instead. If you've noticed any small changes in behaviour or comfort, a routine eye exam can help spot issues early.

Even 30 seconds away from your device can make your eyes feel noticeably more comfortable.

Try building in small habits:
• Look across the room when your eyes feel "tight"
• Increase text size so you're not squinting
• Lower your screen brightness if it feels harsh
• Add more light to reduce contrast and strain

These tiny adjustments help your focusing muscles relax, keeping your eyes clear and comfortable throughout the day.
If you're still experiencing strain or blurred vision, an eye test may help pinpoint the cause.
