A little heads up… we’re booking ahead!

Over the past few weeks our diary has been filling up quickly and we’re now booking eye tests a little further in advance than usual.

If you’ve been meaning to get your eyes checked, it might be a good idea to secure a time that suits you.

No pressure of course, we just don’t want anyone to miss out on a convenient appointment.

Classic Jaguar with a hint of red ⭐

This version of Jaguar frame 31532 brings something a little extra with clean, confident styling and discreet hints of red woven into the design. It’s a small detail, but one that adds character and sets this frame apart without shouting for attention.

Smart, modern, and incredibly wearable, it’s perfect if you like your eyewear timeless on the outside, with a bit of personality up close.

The detail really comes to life when you try it on. Pop in and try them on!

This is Mark!

Mark is an avid skier and was overdue a new pair of ski goggles after having his previous pair for a number of years.

He came to us after seeing our Coral Hyper 2.0’s and is over the moon with their performance whilst skiing in the French Alps.

Mark said: “Visibility is excellent - I can see all the detail and changes in the snow conditions. They’re great at protecting my eyes against the sun and they’re so comfortable! I hardly know I've got them on.

They haven't fogged up once - an issue I’ve had with several pairs in the past. They have great airflow.

But the most important thing is that they look amazing!!!”

If you’d like to grab a pair for yourself or someone you love, just get in touch! They come in three amazing colours 💚

We’ve all seen the adverts that read, “2 pairs for £XX” or “free eye test with glasses.”

They sound great but sometimes the real cost comes later.

Here’s why:

1️⃣ Lower quality lenses
Cheaper deals often mean basic lenses with limited coatings. This can lead to more glare, more scratches, and less comfortable vision.

2️⃣ Less personalised fitting
Glasses should be tailored to your prescription, face shape and how you actually use your eyes. When this is rushed or simplified, the result often isn’t as good.

3️⃣ They don’t last as long
Lower quality frames and lenses can wear out faster, meaning you’re replacing them sooner than expected.

At Greenfield Eyecare, we focus on doing things properly. This means quality lenses, carefully chosen frames, and time taken to get everything right.

Because when your glasses are right, they should feel effortless every day.

We’ve got some bittersweet news to share…

Our brilliant irrigation specialist Harriet will be leaving us to start an exciting new chapter as an estate agent 🏡✨

Harriet has been a huge part of what we do here at Greenfield Eyecare, and we know many of you will have seen her for ear wax removal. She’s looked after our patients with such care, professionalism and warmth - and she’ll be very much missed by both us and our customers.

We wish her all the very best in her new role (and if you’re buying or selling locally… you know who to call! 😉)

The good news is that ear wax removal services are continuing as normal.

Claire has now completed her irrigation training, so we’ll still be offering both microsuction and irrigation, just as before.

Appointments are available:
• In practice
• As a home visit

You can book:
📱 Via our app
🌐 On our website
📞 By calling us
👋 Or in practice

If you’ve been meaning to get your ears checked or cleared, we’re here to help.

Ear wax removal is gentle, safe and usually very comfortable when carried out properly.

Most people say the relief afterwards is the best part. Who wouldn't be happier with clearer hearing, less pressure, and that “blocked” feeling gone?!

So, if your ears feel blocked or your hearing isn’t quite right, don’t put up with it. Give us a ring or pop-in for a chat, we'd love to help you out.

Today we’re celebrating the one who keeps James and Claire in check!

From keeping the practice running smoothly to making sure everyone feels welcome the moment they walk through the door, you’re an absolute superstar and we honestly don’t know what we’d do without you.

Your kindness, humour and ability to juggle everything (while still having a laugh with patients and us lot) doesn’t go unnoticed - and we’re very lucky to have you as part of the Greenfield Eyecare family 💚

We hope you have the best day, get properly spoiled, and enjoy a well-earned break from us… even if it’s just for a few days!

Happy Birthday Chelsey! 🎂

3 Signs Ear Wax Might Be Affecting Your Hearing

Ear wax is completely normal and actually healthy, but sometimes it can build up and start causing problems.

Here are 3 signs it could be affecting your hearing:

1️⃣ Sounds feel muffled
If voices seem dull or you’re turning the TV up more than usual, wax could be blocking sound from reaching the eardrum properly.

2️⃣ Your ears feel full or blocked
That “underwater” sensation? It’s a common sign of wax build-up.

3️⃣ Ringing in one ear (or perhaps both)
Wax can sometimes trigger or worsen tinnitus symptoms.

The good news? It’s usually quick and easily sorted.

At Greenfield Eyecare, we offer safe, gentle microsuction and irrigation ear wax removal in a calm and friendly environment.

If something doesn’t feel quite right, don’t ignore it!

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Greenfield Eyecare!

Today we’re celebrating all the amazing mums, grandmas, step-mums and mother figures in our community.

The ones who somehow juggle everything…school runs, work, family life, and still manage to look after everyone else before themselves.

We see it every day in practice - mums bringing their children for eye tests, reminding partners to book appointments, and always making sure everyone else is taken care of first.

Today is your day.

Thank you for everything you do for your families and for our community here in Saddleworth.

We hope you’re thoroughly spoiled today. You deserve it 💚

James, Claire and the team at Greenfield Eyecare

Is my child too young for myopia control?

It’s a question many parents ask, and the answer isn’t based on age alone.

Myopia control depends on how your child’s eyes are developing and whether their vision is changing over time. An early conversation can help you understand what’s happening and what, if anything, needs to be done next.

P͟A͟R͟E͟N͟T͟ F͟A͟Q͟

𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥?
There isn’t a set age. Suitability is based on eye development and prescription changes.

𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭?
Not necessarily. Myopia control focuses on managing progression, not just increasing prescription strength.

𝐈𝐬 𝐦𝐲𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞?
Yes. Options are well established and recommended for suitable children following assessment.

𝐃𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲?
No. Sometimes the best first step is simply monitoring and understanding your child’s vision.

If you’d like personalised advice for your child, book an appointment or give us a call.

A child’s eye test should feel calm, friendly, and reassuring.

We know that eye tests can feel a little daunting for children, especially if it’s their first time. That’s why we take a gentle, relaxed approach that helps them feel comfortable and at ease.

Appointments are never rushed, everything is explained in a child-friendly way, and we always go at their pace. There’s time to settle in, ask questions, and make the experience a positive one for children and parents alike.

Because when children feel relaxed, eye tests are easier, more accurate, and far less stressful.

If your child is due an eye test or you have any concerns about their vision, we’re always happy to help.

PS: Your child can get a fun sticker and maybe Mum & Dad too, if they ask nicely!
