💙👁️ Today is World Diabetes Day

Did you know that diabetes can affect your eye health as well as your overall wellbeing?
Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye, a condition known as diabetic retinopathy.

It’s one of the most common causes of vision loss in working-age adults in the UK, but the good news is that early detection and regular eye exams can make a huge difference 👓

Here’s how to help protect your sight:
✅ Attend your regular diabetic eye screening.
✅ Keep up with your routine eye exams.
✅ Manage blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol.
✅ Let your independent Optician know if you notice blurred vision, dark spots or sudden changes in sight.

💛👁️ It’s World Kindness Day!

Today’s a perfect reminder that kindness starts close to home, including being kind to your eyes 💫

Simple acts of kindness for your eyes can make a big difference:
🌤️ Take regular breaks from screens (the 20-20-20 rule really helps!)
🕶️ Wear sunglasses, even in winter, to protect against UV rays.
🥦 Eat colourful fruit and veg to keep your vision healthy.
😴 Get enough rest, your eyes need downtime too.

Your eyes work hard for you every single day; show them a little love and they’ll thank you with clearer, more comfortable vision 💛

🍽️👀 Happy Roast Dinner Day!

There’s nothing quite as comforting as a proper Sunday roast, and the best part? Many classic roast ingredients are great for your eye health too! 🥦🥕

Here’s what’s on your plate that your eyes will love:
🥕 Carrots & parsnips - rich in beta-carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A to support healthy vision.
🥦 Broccoli & sprouts - packed with lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help protect against age-related macular changes.
🍗 Chicken or beef - a good source of zinc, important for maintaining the retina and supporting night vision.
🥔 Potatoes - full of vitamin C, which helps keep the tiny blood vessels in your eyes strong and healthy.

So when you tuck into your roast today, you can feel extra good knowing it’s not just tasty, it’s a bit of a feast for your eyes too! 😋💚

🕊️✨ It’s World Origami Day!

Did you know that folding paper into intricate designs isn’t just beautiful, it’s also great for your eyes and brain? 👀🧠

Origami encourages focus, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, while giving your eyes a break from screens. Watching the shapes take form can be surprisingly calming too!

So today, why not put your phone down for a few minutes and try your hand at a paper crane, flower or even a tiny pair of glasses? 😉

It’s a fun, mindful way to rest your eyes and keep them moving in a different way 📄💙

🌍👁️ Today is World Keratoconus Day

Keratoconus is an eye condition where the cornea becomes thinner and bulges into a cone shape, causing blurred or distorted vision. It often starts in the teens or 20s and can progress over time.

📊 Did you know?
👁️Around 1 in 667 people in the UK are affected.
👁️It’s more common in people of South Asian origin, up to 7× higher rates than in white populations.
👁️It’s often linked with eye rubbing and allergies like hay fever or eczema.

Early detection is key; regular eye exams can help catch changes before they impact your sight. If you’ve noticed rapid prescription changes or more glare at night, speak to your independent Optician 👓💙

🌺 Remembrance Sunday 🌺

Today we pause to honour all those who gave their lives in service, and those who continue to serve, so that we may live in peace and freedom.

At 11am, we join the nation in a moment of silence to remember their courage, sacrifice and love.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

👁️💫 It’s Wobbly Wednesday 💫👁️

Today we’re raising awareness of nystagmus, sometimes called “wobbly eyes”, a condition where the eyes move involuntarily, making it harder to focus or see clearly.

👓 Around 1 in 4000 people in the UK are affected.
👶 It often starts in infancy, but adults can develop it too.
📚 Good lighting, regular eye exams and tailored visual support can make a big difference.

If you ever notice unusual eye movements in your child (or yourself), it’s always worth mentioning to your independent Optician.

Let’s keep the conversation going this Wobbly Wednesday and support clearer vision for everyone 💙

🎆✨ Remember, remember… eye safety this November ✨🎆

Bonfire Night is tomorrow, a highlight of the autumn calendar 🌌

As you enjoy the fireworks this year, take a moment to protect your eyes:
👓 Keep your distance — stand at least 25 metres from fireworks once lit.
🧯 Never look directly into fireworks or sparklers, even after they’ve gone out.
🪩 Wear protective eyewear if you’re lighting or handling fireworks.
🎇 Supervise children closely, and keep sparklers at arm’s length.

Stay safe and enjoy the show 🔥🎆

📚✨ It’s Children’s Book Week ✨👓

There’s nothing like getting lost in a good story, especially through a child’s eyes. This week, why not set aside some quiet reading time together?

👀 Tip: If your child mentions words looking blurry or needs to hold books close, it might be time for an eye exam. Regular eye exams help keep reading fun and comfortable.
