🎄 A Christmas Surprise That Truly Touched My Heart 🎄

In the rush of daily life and the busyness of looking after our patients, I hadn’t managed to stop and get into the Christmas spirit properly this year… but today, something truly special happened.

Off their own back, Becky’s mum and sister walked into the practice with bags full of decorations, huge smiles, and nothing but kindness. They transformed our space into a little festive haven — Christmas tree, stockings, sparkle, everything. They did it all without wanting a single penny.

I was honestly blown away. Moments like this remind me just how lucky we are to be surrounded by people who care — not just as staff or customers, but as a real community.

This is what we stand for at Oracle Opticians.
A family-run, community-based practice built on warmth, connection, and looking after each other… just like family should.

To Becky’s incredible family — thank you ❤️
To our community — you are the heart of everything we do.

Pop in, soak in the festive cheer, say hello… and let’s celebrate this season together.

🌟 200 Google Reviews… and every single one means the world to us. 🌟

Reaching 200 reviews isn’t just a number — it’s a reflection of the trust, kindness and support our community has shown us since the day we opened our doors.

It hasn’t been an easy journey. Building a practice from scratch, investing in hospital-grade technology, fighting for better eye health in our community, helping patients through difficult diagnoses, restoring confidence, and sometimes even restoring independence… every step has taken heart, belief and perseverance.

But helping people — truly helping them — is a privilege.
And to read your words, your experiences, your gratitude… it reminds us why we do this.

From the simple moments like choosing a new pair of glasses, to the life-changing moments like saving a licence, detecting early macular changes, guiding someone through AMD treatment, or supporting families through difficult times — thank you for trusting us. 🫶🏽

Here’s to the next chapter.
Here’s to human connection, world-class eye care, and serving our community with honesty, compassion and expertise — always.

Thank you, from all of us at Oracle Opticians & Spectacle Designer Studio.
Your support means more than you’ll ever know. 💚

🎄✨ Spreading a bit of Christmas cheer! ✨🎄

To celebrate the 1st of December, I popped into some of our wonderful local businesses with a little surprise — an advent calendar to kickstart the countdown to Christmas! 🎅📅

It’s these small moments of connection, laughter, and community spirit that make this time of year so special. Supporting local isn’t just about shopping… it’s about people, relationships, and celebrating the heart of our town. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who welcomed me with a smile today — let’s keep the festive joy going all month long!

Wishing you all a warm, joyful, and magical December. ❄️✨

👀 A quick reminder about eye health for young players

Protecting children’s vision is incredibly important — especially for active kids spending long hours outdoors. 🌤️

Regular eye examinations help ensure:
• Clear, comfortable vision on and off the pitch ⚽👓
• Early detection of any concerns 🔍
• UV protection advice for outdoor sport 🕶️
• Visual comfort for learning, reading and screens 📚💻

Healthy eyes = better performance, confidence and wellbeing. 💪👀

🚘 A Story Worth Sharing — Because Your Independence Matters 👁️

A few months ago, one of our patients came to me in a panic.
His driving licence had been taken away after a DVLA vision assessment.
He was devastated — and honestly, so was I.

Just months before, I had seen him myself and everything was clear.
To hear he had suddenly “failed” was a shock.

But here’s the difficult truth…
DVLA tests are carried out by contracted providers, and those results are submitted and on occasions like now, the DVLA can make the decision to revoke the licence.
For many people, it feels like their independence is taken away overnight — with nowhere to turn.

Instead of accepting the outcome, we sat together, talked through every option, and decided to challenge this properly.

This is where investment in the right equipment changes lives.
We use the Zeiss Humphrey HFA3 — the gold standard in visual field testing.
It’s the machine hospitals and the DVLA themselves benchmark against.

We completed a full, detailed assessment:
✔️ Accurate field testing
✔️ Full visual acuity check
✔️ Comprehensive eye health review

And guess what?
He appeared to be completely in the clear.

So I wrote a full report — clinically detailed, clearly presented, and backed by evidence — to support his appeal.

The result?

He got his licence back. 🙌🏽
A huge weight lifted.
His independence restored.

He never should have gone through that stress… but I’m grateful we were able to help him navigate it.

And this is what it’s all about for me:
Human connection.
Taking the time to listen.
Standing by people when they feel lost.
And doing everything in our power to support them — clinically and emotionally.

Whether it’s driving, glaucoma management, AMD support, Valeda Light Therapy, or general eye health…
we’re here for you.

Always.

✨ Another beautiful gesture from one of our wonderful patients.

It’s moments like these that truly remind us why we do what we do. When someone takes the time to say thank you, it means the world. We’re simply here to help — to guide, to care, and to support — but knowing it’s made a difference touches us deeply.

This is Becky, our Joint Manager and Dispensing Optician here at Oracle Opticians and Spectacle Designer Studio.

Becky joined us over the summer — and honestly, it feels like she’s always been part of the family. Her calm, methodical and incredibly organised approach keeps our busy practice running seamlessly, allowing us to deliver the very best in personalised eye care and customer service.

We’re so lucky to have her on this journey with us as we continue to grow, innovate and bring world-class eye care to our community — from advanced Valeda Light Therapy for Dry AMD to luxury eyewear you simply won’t find anywhere else in Yorkshire.

✨ Here’s to Becky — the perfect blend of expertise, empathy and everyday brilliance.

This is why I do what I do. 💛

Today, one of my amazing patients finished her Valeda Light Therapy treatment — and surprised us with this beautiful gift bag and a heartfelt thank you card.

Honestly, I was taken aback.

She told me that for years she had been told “nothing can be done” for her macular degeneration — but now, after completing her Valeda sessions, she feels more confident, more in control, and more hopeful about her vision and her wellbeing.

Let’s be clear — there is no cure for dry AMD.
But there is growing research and clinical evidence that gives us tools, like Valeda Light Therapy, to help slow the progression and support retinal health.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen such a transformation in her and in moments like this, I’m reminded why I chose this path.

In this journey, I’ve found purpose — helping people regain confidence, understanding their condition, and focusing on their overall wellbeing.

I’m genuinely grateful that I get to make a difference in people’s lives every day — not just through technology, but through connection, compassion, and care.

✨ It’s more than sight — it’s about giving hope. ✨
