❎ 𝗠𝗬𝗧𝗛: You only need an eye test if you notice problems with your vision.

✅ 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: Regular eye tests are essential to detect potential eye conditions and diseases, ensure optimal eye health, and even uncover underlying health issues!

The main purpose of an eye test is to check the health of your eyes. An eye test can identify numerous general health problems and early signs of eye conditions before you're aware of any symptoms. If diagnosed early, many eye conditions can be treated.

Aside from eye health, comprehensive eye exams can also reveal signs of systemic health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and even some cancers. Optometrists are trained to identify these signs, so it’s important to book regular appointments for eye tests, especially as you get older.

As a general rule, it is recommended that you have an eye test every two years. But if you’re over 40, have chronic eye problems, or fast changing prescriptions, you’ll need an eye test more often.

Are you worried your child is having difficulty reading, concentrating, or keeping up in school? While there could be various reasons, an often-overlooked cause is an undiagnosed vision problem.

Here are some signs and symptoms to look out for:
• They rub their eyes a lot
• They avoid reading, writing, or drawing
• They sit very close to the TV
• They don’t do as well as they should at school
• They have unexplained headaches
• They have watery eyes
• They have poor hand-to-eye coordination

Are you worried your child is having difficulty reading, concentrating, or keeping up in school? While there could be various reasons, an often-overlooked cause is an undiagnosed vision problem.

While some vision problems may be apparent, others can be more subtle and easily missed. Here are some signs and symptoms to look out for:
• Frequent eye rubbing or squinting
• Holding books or devices very close or far away
• Losing their place while reading
• Frequent headaches
• Poor hand-eye coordination
• Sensitivity to light or glare
• Tilting or turning their head to see better

Regular sight tests are crucial for early detection and management of vision issues. Children under 16 are entitled to a free NHS funded eye examination every year. They're also eligible for an NHS optical voucher to help towards the cost of glasses or contact lenses.

👁 Understanding your eye health is as important as regular check-ups. Today, we're shedding light on a common condition: glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to high pressure in the eye. While there is no cure, early detection can slow its progression.

❓ Who is affected by glaucoma?
Glaucoma can affect anyone, but it is most common in adults over 40. Those with a family history of glaucoma, people of African or Caribbean descent, and individuals with certain medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure are at higher risk.

❓ What are the symptoms of glaucoma?
There are no symptoms in the early stages of chronic glaucoma, so it is important to have eye examinations – especially if you are in the group of people at risk of getting this condition. In the later stages, you may have blurring around the outside of your vision. Acute glaucoma can cause severe headaches, eye pain, nausea, blurred vision, and halos around lights.

❓ How do you treat glaucoma?
There is no cure for chronic glaucoma but it can be treated effectively, normally with eye drops which you use every day. These reduce the pressure in your eye.
Acute glaucoma requires prompt treatment. The first step is to lower the eye pressure. This is done using eye drops and an intravenous injection. Surgery is then recommended to prevent the problem reoccurring.

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

🌙 Driving at night is much more dangerous than in full daylight. Depth perception, colour recognition, and peripheral vision can all be compromised in the dark, and as we age, we have greater difficulty seeing at night.

According to the College of Optometrists 60% of UK drivers have been advised to wear glasses while driving, but 24% have admitted that they do not always wear them when behind the wheel! This autumn, we're encouraging drivers who need glasses to wear them while driving 👓

It's important for all drivers to ask themselves the question, ‘Can I see to drive?’ at this time of year, and to regularly check the number plate test (you must be able to read a car number plate from 20 metres, approx. 5 car lengths). 🚗 If the answer is not a definite ‘Yes’, it's time to visit your optician!

🎃 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.
