🌙 Is your "one last scroll" stealing your sleep?
That late-night phone habit does more than just distract you—it tricks your brain.

The Science: Blue light mimics daylight, suppressing melatonin (your sleep hormone). This disrupts your internal clock, making it harder to drift off and reducing your sleep quality.

3 Quick Fixes:
🔋Power Down: Try to ditch screens 1–2 hours before bed.
🌚Warm It Up: Switch your devices to ‘Night Mode’ settings.
🟦Filter It: Ask us about Blue Light Lenses to protect your eyes and your rest.

Don’t let your screen ruin your dream. Visit Thomas Carter Opticians to find the best lens solution for your lifestyle. 👓

Most people wait until things look "fuzzy" to book an appointment, but your eyes often send quieter signals that they need a little extra care.

Here are 3 signs it’s time to come in and see us at Thomas Carter Opticians:

🤕Frequent Headaches: If you find yourself reaching for the painkillers by 3 PM, your eyes might be straining to focus, especially during screen time.
🎇Trouble Driving at Night: Increased glare or difficulty seeing signs clearly in low light can be a sign of subtle vision changes.
🙄Eye Fatigue: Do your eyes feel dry, "heavy," or tired after reading? It’s often a sign that your current prescription (or lack of one) is making your eyes work overtime.

Your vision is our priority. Our dedicated team is here to help you catch these small signs before they become big problems.

Time for our unofficial 'Twixmas' Eye Test! 👁️ How far down the list can you get today?

🍗 Level 1: Spotting the last bit of turkey for a sandwich.
🧀 Level 2: Finding the 'good' crackers in the box.
🍬 Level 3: Identifying the last purple one in the Quality Street tin from across the room.

If things are looking a bit blurry after all that festive snacking, it might be time for a New Year check-up! Book in for Janaury 🗓️

Our Story

We are an independent Optician in Urmston.

And by that, we mean to say we are a bunch of friendly peeps who care about our Community. You won’t find another Opticians practice quite like ours, we are sure of that.

Book in with our admin team, come see us for a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy a thorough eyetest from our qualified and professional Optometrists and then have the dispensing team (or maybe all of us) help make your eyewear decisions fun and easy.

We have late opening times during the week to try accommodate those who work full time hours who can’t always come in at the weekend.
