A colourimeter is a specialist piece of equipment used to identify the most effective colour for reducing visual stress symptoms.

During the assessment, Karen will:
• Test a range of colours systematically
• Look at comfort, clarity and stability of text
• Fine-tune the shade, strength and combination
• Ensure the colour chosen genuinely helps

This process removes guesswork and helps us recommend a personalised solution rather than a generic tint.

Finally: who visual stress assessments are suitable for.

FRAMES BECOME HABIT
Not always a choice

Many people choose the same type of frame again and again because it feels familiar.

But glasses are part of your personal style. They should work with how you dress, how you live, and how you want to feel wearing them now — not how you felt years ago.

Sometimes stepping slightly outside habit is all it takes to find something that feels much more like you.

Tinted glasses work in a similar way to overlays, but are designed for everyday wear. The tint is built into the lenses, giving consistent colour support throughout the day.

They can be particularly useful for:
• Reading and studying
• Computer and screen use
• Work environments
• Reducing light sensitivity

The key is getting the right tint – too dark or the wrong colour can make things worse rather than better. That’s why a proper assessment matters.

FEBRUARY IS A PAUSE
Time to rethink your frames

February isn’t about rushing into change — it’s about taking stock.

After the busy start to the year, it’s often the first moment people really notice that their glasses no longer feel quite right. Styles change. Faces change. Confidence grows.

February is a good time to slow down, try things on properly, and think about what suits you now — not what you’ve always worn.

Low sun, long journeys and busy roads all place different demands on your eyes.

That’s why we take time to find the right driving lens solution, which may include advanced coatings – such as Rodenstock’s LayerR™ – alongside other carefully chosen lens brands.

Using personalised measurements like BIG EXACT® (where appropriate), we can help create lenses tailored to how your eyes work, rather than relying on tints alone.

Colour overlays are transparent coloured sheets that sit over text, screens or worksheets. They can help reduce visual stress symptoms for some people, particularly children and students.

Overlays can be helpful for:
• School work and homework
• Reading books and worksheets
• Screen use
• Trying colour support before moving to glasses

They’re often used as a first step, especially for younger patients or those wanting to see if colour makes a difference before committing to tinted lenses.

Next: tinted glasses – and how they’re different.
