Glaucoma is often called the 'silent thief of sight' because it gradually damages vision without obvious warning signs, especially in the early stages.

If you have any concerns about your vision get in touch or visit your local opticians.

Cataracts affect vision by causing the normally clear lens inside your eye to become cloudy. This clouding prevents light from passing through properly, which leads to a range of visual problems.

If cataracts are affecting your vision, contact us to see how we can help.

Cataracts are very common.

The main cause of cataracts is the natural ageing process which causes proteins in the eye’s lens to break down, clump together and become cloudy over time. While most common in people over 60 other factors like UV light exposure, smoking, diabetes, and eye injuries can speed up this process.

If cataracts are affecting your quality of life, please get in touch to find out how we can help.

Cataract surgery is usually done when your vision problems start to bother you, not when the cataract is 'ripe'.

If you're noticing changes, it's worth seeing your optician or ophthalmologist, they can help decide the right timing for you.

On World Cancer Day we're raising awareness of eye cancer.

Cancer may affect the eyelids, the area surrounding the eyes, the surface of the eyes as well as inside. Intraocular melanoma actually ranks amongst the deadliest of all tumors.

Recognising warning signs like unusual growth or rapid visual changes is critical for medical attention.

If you have any concerns speak to your Optician or Ophthalmologist.

Glaucoma is otherwise known as 'the silent thief of sight'. This is because it often causes vision loss without early warning signs. Regular eye exams are essential. If you have any concerns please seek medical attention.

Diabetic retinopathy does not usually have any symptoms at first. It's usually found when you go to your diabetic eye screening appointments.

In the later stages, symptoms can include:

-Your eyesight getting worse
-Blurred vision
-Dots and lines (floaters) in your vision
-Finding it harder to see in the dark or low light

The symptoms may gradually get worse over time. It can eventually lead to sight loss.

Symptoms can affect one or both eyes.
If you have any concerns please seek medical advice.

November is National Diabetes Month.

During this month there is a global push to raise awareness about diabetes.

Diabetic eye screening is a special eye test designed to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina.
