It sounds shocking, but the outer layer of your eye (the cornea) can actually freeze in extreme cold. While this is rare, winter weather can still cause dryness, irritation, and discomfort.

✅ Protect your eyes from harsh winds and cold.
✅ Wear spectacles or sunglasses for extra defence.
✅ Keep your vision healthy all season long.

Half-term adventures aren’t just fun, they’re great for little eyes too!

Studies show that at least 2 hours of outdoor play each day can help reduce the risk of myopia (short-sightedness).

Fresh air, active fun, and healthy eyes — all in one!

We love it for its ultra-wearable finish: light-toned frames that flatter most skin tones, add a fresh lift, and transition seamlessly from work to weekend.

Is your child struggling with schoolwork? Changes in their vision could be the cause—and catching them early can make all the difference!

Here are three signs to watch for:

📚 Reading below grade level – They might be having trouble seeing the words clearly.
😕 Disinterest in reading or focus-heavy tasks – If they’re avoiding activities that need concentration, their eyes might not be keeping up.
👁️ Covering or closing one eye while reading – This could be a sign they’re trying to focus better.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a great idea to book an eye test. Early detection means a brighter future for your child in school and beyond!
