🎒 Back to school — and back to the screen.

After a couple of weeks off, it's back to homework, tablets, and classroom whiteboards.

If your child has been squinting at the board, struggling to read, or getting headaches — it might be worth booking an eye test.

Children's tests are free on the NHS.

🎸 The Orkney Blues Festival is almost here!

One of our favourite weekends of the year is just around the corner — and we love seeing Kirkwall come alive with music, visitors, and good vibes.

We'll be open as usual throughout the festival — so if you need us, you know where to find us.

Who's looking forward to it? 🎶

Did you know April is Sports Eye Safety Month? 🚴‍♀️⚽

Most sports-related eye injuries can be avoided with the right protection — and here in Orkney, where so many folk are out cycling, hillwalking, fishing, or playing football, it's worth thinking about.

Our own Rebecca swears by her Oakleys when she's out training for triathlons — they stay put, protect her eyes, and look good doing it!

Whether it's impact-resistant glasses for five-a-side or wraparound sports frames for the bike, we can help you find something that works.

Your eyes are precious. Let's keep them safe while you're doing what you love.

👁 Over 100 years of eye care — and we're not done yet.

We've seen generations of the same families come through our door. Children who became parents, parents who became grandparents.

It's a long time to be trusted with something as important as your sight. We're grateful for every one of you.

The days are getting longer and brighter — have you thought about prescription sunglasses yet? ☀️

Whether you're out walking, cycling, or just enjoying the light evenings, they make a real difference. Proper UV protection for your eyes, and you can actually *see* what you're doing.

We can help you choose frames and lenses that suit your lifestyle.

Pop in for a chat — no pressure, just advice.

Team Clarks were delighted to get dressed up and celebrate the marriage of our lovely Optical Assistant Fiona and Thomas, who tied the knot in August. Since then, they’ve also welcomed little Sarah-Jane (seen here previously modelling some Ray-Bans!) so it was double celebrations last night!

Huge congratulations from all of us — wishing you all the very best for a long and happy future. 🥰🥳

👫 Happy Siblings Day.

Same parents, same upbringing — and yet one sibling with perfect vision, one who can't find their glasses without their glasses.

Eyes are funny that way. So is family.

Family has always been at the heart of Clark's, and after more than 100 years we've seen generations of brothers and sisters come through our door.

There's something really special about watching children grow up, go off into the world, and find their way back to us.

Thank you for keeping us in the family.

📚 Before they go back to school — have you checked their vision?

Children often don't realise their vision isn't quite right. They just assume everyone sees the same way they do.

An undetected problem can affect reading, concentration, and confidence in the classroom — and they won't always tell you something feels off.

Children's eye tests are free on the NHS.
