Did you know stress can affect your eyes?
Eye strain, twitching, blurred vision, and headaches can all flare up during stressful times. Take regular screen breaks, get plenty of rest, and book an eye test if symptoms persist. Looking after your vision supports your wellbeing, too.

🔵 DIABETES & EYE HEALTH: A Must-Read! 👁️
If you or someone you love has diabetes, it’s important to know that it doesn’t just affect your blood sugar — it can also impact your eyesight in serious ways.
📌 One of the most common complications is diabetic retinopathy — a condition where high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive part of your eye). Over time, this can lead to vision problems or even blindness if left untreated.
👀 Watch for these warning signs:
Blurry or distorted vision
Seeing floaters or dark spots
Vision that goes in and out
Dark or empty areas in your sight
But here’s the good news: vision loss from diabetes is preventable — if caught early!
✅ Here’s how to protect your eyes:
Keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol under control
Schedule a comprehensive eye exam every year (even if your vision seems fine)
Report any vision changes to your optician right away
👨‍⚕️ Don’t wait for symptoms to appear — by then, damage may already be done.

🩷 Last Week Feels 🩷

This week I say goodbye to Carlton & Stanley Opticians as I take the next step in my journey.

I’m so grateful for the experiences, growth, and the wonderful community I’ve been part of.

I've had such fun here and learned so much!

As I move on, I’ll carry the skills, experiences, and memories with me.

Much love

👓 These aren’t your average spectacle lenses!

At first glance, they look completely normal — but shine a light on them, and a hidden pattern appears! ✨

These special lenses are designed to slow down the progression of short-sightedness in children.

The clever pattern (called HALT technology) includes over 1000 tiny lenslets arranged in rings. This helps manage how the eye grows, reducing the worsening of myopia.

What a treat we have had this morning when Guide Dog puppy trainee Leo popped in with his puppy raisers!

He's certainly grown since these photos on ! 💙

He is being looked after wonderfully and being introduced to new environments and experiences whilst staying in a loving home.

These puppies will go on to make an enormous difference to someone living with sight loss.

It's Diabetes Awareness Week!

Diabetes is a common condition where there is too much sugar in the blood. It can be treated, but even with treatment, people with diabetes have a higher risk of developing eye problems.

Raised sugar levels cause changes to blood vessel walls. This is a particular problem in the eye as the blood vessels are small and thin. Diabetic eye disease is the most common complication of Diabetes.

All Diabetics are entitled to an NHS funded eye test every 12 months. If you have diabetes you may not notice the signs or symptoms of early diabetic eye problems. This is why your eyes are checked regularly to pick up any changes.
