🎃 Let's talk about wearing Halloween contact lenses 👁
With so much available to create the perfect Halloween look, it is tempting to finish off the ensemble with a frightening final touch. While you can enjoy dressing up in a little fake blood, fangs or batwings, we warn against novelty contact lenses. They might look effective, but they can be hazardous. ⚠️ Every year, lots of people unwittingly put their eye health at risk by wearing them.

To enjoy Halloween safely, avoid risking eye health for a scary look. Consult your optician before wearing novelty lenses.

Not scared? 👻
If you’re still willing to take the risk... take a look at our top tips for proper contact lens care and handling.

Protect Your Vision 👁 Quit Smoking This Stoptober 🛑
Did you know that smoking can double your chances of losing your sight?

Smoking causes harm to the tissues of the eye, which can increase your risk of eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – the UK’s leading cause of sight loss – as well as nuclear cataracts, thyroid eye disease, dry eye and poor colour vision.

This month, take a proactive step towards safeguarding your vision and overall health. Quitting smoking not only benefits your eyes but also enhances your quality of life.

Whether you’re thinking about quitting, ready to quit, or need help staying smoke free, the NHS Better Health website is full of tools and advice. 🚭 https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking/

It’s National Eye Health Week! 👁 We’re focusing on the importance of good eye health and the need for regular eye tests for all.

Our vision steadily declines as we age so it’s no surprise that poor vision is a major contributory factor to falls in the over-60s. Around one in three adults over 65 who live at home have at least one fall a year, and about half of these will experience falls more frequently.

Three quarters of older people who suffer a fall as a result of poor vision had a visual impairment that was easily correctable. This could be as simple as getting a new prescription for your glasses or having cataract surgery.

Regular sight tests are important for everyone to keep your eyes and vision healthy. Sight tests are FREE for all over 60s as they are paid for by the NHS!

👁‍🗨 Understanding your eye health is as important as regular check-ups. Today, we're shedding light on a common condition: cataracts.

Cataracts occur when the eye's clear lens becomes cloudy, typically as a result of aging. They are painless and may not initially impact vision, but severe impairment may require surgery to replace the cataract with an artificial lens. This surgery is normally carried out under a local anaesthetic and has a very high success rate.

❓ Who is affected by cataracts?
Cataracts mainly develop in those aged 65 or older. Younger people can develop cataracts following an injury to the eye. Some medical conditions such as diabetes, or taking medication such as steroids, may also cause cataracts. Smokers are also more likely to develop cataracts than non-smokers.

❓ What are the symptoms of cataracts?
If you have cataracts you may notice that your vision is less clear and distinct. Car headlights and streetlights can become dazzling, and you may experience difficulty moving from shade to sunlit areas. Colours may look faded or yellowed. Many people with a cataract notice that they need to change the prescription for their glasses more often than they used to.

❓ How do you treat cataracts?
Cataracts often simply mean that your prescription for glasses needs changing. If the cataract is still affecting your day-to-day life, and your optometrist cannot improve this enough by changing your glasses, you can ask them to refer you to an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) for surgery.

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆: Don’t wait until your vision is impaired. Regular eye check-ups can make all the difference.
