Have you noticed your child moving closer to the TV or board at school?
Books creeping nearer to their face?
Squinting starting to become a habit?

Short-sightedness (myopia) is very common in children and often progresses as they grow. The good news? We now have ways to slow this change down, not just correct it with glasses.

At Linklater & Warren, we can:
• Check how clearly your child sees at different distances
• Assess how their eyes are growing and working together
• Talk you through options such as specialist glasses and contact lenses designed for myopia management, where suitable

Myopia management isn’t just about clearer vision today — it’s about slowing how a prescription progresses over time.

If you’ve noticed your child leaning in, sitting closer, or struggling with distance vision, it’s worth booking a children’s eye examination and asking us about myopia management.

You wake up with a red, sore, sticky eye and your first thought is the GP or the chemist queue.
For a lot of eye problems, your optometrist is actually the best first call, and you’re likely to get an appointment much quicker.

If you notice things like:
• Redness, soreness or discharge
• A feeling of grit or something in the eye
• Sudden blur, pain, flashes or floaters that are new

We can often assess and treat it directly, or refer you on quickly if there is something more serious is going on.

In Bexleyheath and Chislehurst, many of these cases are seen under the local NHS minor eye conditions scheme. In Sevenoaks, patients can still be seen privately or via VisionPlan.

If you are not sure who to speak to, give your local Linklater & Warren practice a call and the team can point you in the right direction. You don’t have to guess between GP, chemist and “wait and see.”

Some of our favourite feedback is the kind that sounds a bit like this:

“Very friendly and professional…
very good with special needs, calm and pleasant.
I’ve been using Linklater’s for years and always received service above and beyond.”

Across Chislehurst, Sevenoaks and Bexleyheath, there are now hundreds of reviews saying similar things: that appointments feel calm, staff are patient and kind, and people feel genuinely looked after.

It means a lot that patients trust us with their eyes and hearing year after year, and take the time to share their experience.

If you’re looking for a friendly, professional independent rather than a quick “in and out” appointment, we’re here in Chislehurst, Sevenoaks and Bexleyheath when you need us.

Kids don’t always tell you when they can’t see well.
Sometimes they just move closer to the board, avoid certain games, or say they “don’t like reading.”

Good vision is a big part of how children learn, play and build confidence, which is why regular sight tests matter just as much as dentist check-ups.

In South East London, most children have a basic vision check around Reception age at school. That’s a helpful first step, but it doesn’t replace a full eye examination with an optometrist. Some issues are easy to miss without more detailed testing.

At Linklater & Warren we:
• See children of all ages for NHS-funded sight tests
• Check how clearly they can see, how well their eyes work together and how healthy the eyes are
• Look for common issues like short-sight, long-sight, astigmatism and lazy eye
• Explain everything in simple language so you know what’s going on and what (if anything) needs to happen next

Even if your child has “passed” a school screening or hasn’t mentioned any problems, it’s still worth booking regular sight tests, usually every two years or as advised by the optometrist. Vision can change as they grow, and catching things early makes a real difference at school and in day-to-day life.

If you’re not sure when your child last had their eyes checked, or you’ve noticed them squinting, rubbing their eyes or sitting closer to the TV, we’re happy to take a look and put your mind at rest.

📍 Children’s NHS sight tests available in Chislehurst, Sevenoaks and Bexleyheath.

To book, just contact your local Linklater & Warren practice and ask for a children’s eye test.

You’ve started avoiding night driving because the glare feels like too much.

Headlights, wet roads, street lamps, everything seems brighter and a bit “halo-y” than it used to.

That change in comfort isn’t always “just getting older.” Sometimes it’s your prescription needing a tweak, sometimes it’s the way light is scattering in the eye, and sometimes it’s simply the lenses you’re wearing.

In a full eye examination we can:
• Check whether your prescription has changed
• Look at the health of the front and back of your eyes
• Talk through options that can help with glare, like updated lenses, anti-reflection coatings or different designs for driving

If this sounds familiar, you’re definitely not the only one. It’s usually something we can improve, and you’re always welcome to come in and talk it through.

You’re smiling and nodding more than you’d like to admit.

The TV is up a little louder. Background noise in restaurants makes it hard to follow the conversation.

Many people put off getting their hearing checked because they “don’t feel old enough yet” for hearing aids.

In reality, our audiology partners at Amplify Hearing, see people of all ages for hearing tests, from those just starting to notice changes to those who’ve been struggling for years.

This Tinnitus Week, it’s a good moment to talk about the quieter changes too: ringing, buzzing, a constant background noise, or just feeling that hearing isn’t as easy as it used to be.

Earlier support often means better results and more confidence day to day.

A hearing test is straightforward, gentle and there’s no obligation to go further. If nothing else, you get a clear picture of where things are now.

Ringing, buzzing, whistling, when the noise is only in your head.

Tinnitus can sound different for everyone: a high-pitched whine, a low hum, a whoosh in time with your heartbeat. For some people it’s occasional and easy to ignore. For others, it’s there all the time and quietly exhausting.

During Tinnitus Week, charities like Tinnitus UK Charity are focusing on how things like live music, headphones and everyday noise levels affect our ears, and what can actually help.

At Linklater & Warren, our audiology partners at Amplify Hearing run dedicated hearing clinics from within our practices. We can:
• Check your hearing and discuss your symptoms
• Rule out issues like wax build-up or middle-ear problems
• Talk through practical ways to manage tinnitus day to day, including sound therapy and hearing solutions where appropriate.

If you’ve noticed a constant ringing or buzzing that isn’t going away, get it checked. A simple hearing assessment is a good first step, even if it’s just for reassurance.

📍 Clinics in Chislehurst, Sevenoaks and Bexleyheath
To book a tinnitus or hearing check, give your local Linklater & Warren practice a call and ask about an appointment with our Amplify audiologist.

Dry, scratchy, tired eyes by the end of the day?

If your eyes feel gritty, watery, sore at a screen or uncomfortable in air-conditioned rooms, it might be more than “just tiredness”. Dry eye is very common and can be linked to the way your tear film and eyelid glands are working.

In our dry eye clinics we can:
• Look closely at the surface of the eye and tear film
• Check how well the eyelid glands are functioning
• Talk through tailored treatment options, from drops and masks to more advanced light-based treatments

The aim is simple: eyes that feel calmer and more comfortable day to day. If this sounds familiar, it’s worth getting it properly checked.

Not all tech has to look like tech.

Ray-Ban Meta look and feel like classic Ray-Bans, with discreet technology built into the frames.

You can listen to music or podcasts, answer calls and capture photos or short videos, all without taking your phone out of your pocket.

For some partially sighted people, they can also be paired with accessibility apps like Be My Eyes. At the tap of the glasses, a sighted helper can see what the glasses see and talk them through what’s in front of them.

It’s not a medical device or a replacement for in-person support, but it can be a really helpful extra layer of security in everyday life.

We now have Ray-Ban Meta available if you’d like to see how they look and feel in person, or simply ask a few questions.

Specialist support for dry eyes, slowing short-sightedness in children, alleviating visual stress and reading difficulties and treating patients with hearing loss.
