✨ 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.

We’ve built our practice on human connection and trust. The world of healthcare is changing fast, but we believe some things should never change — kindness, empathy, and taking the time to truly see the person in front of us.

Here’s to bringing that human touch back into eye care — one patient, one story, one smile at a time. 💛

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.

✨ 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. ✨

🚗 DVLA, Driving & Macular Degeneration – What You Need to Know 👁️

One of the most common questions I get asked by patients living with macular degeneration is:

“Am I still safe — and legally allowed — to drive?”

It’s an incredibly important question. Driving isn’t just about getting from A to B — it’s about independence, confidence, and freedom. Here’s what you need to know:

✅ 1. You must inform the DVLA
If you have a condition that affects both eyes, such as macular degeneration, you are legally required to inform the DVLA.

Once you’ve notified them, they’ll send you a form to complete, asking for details about your condition and your vision. Based on that, they may decide a further assessment is needed.

🧾 2. The DVLA eye assessment
If required, the DVLA will invite you to attend a vision test with one of their approved testing centres. This assessment checks whether your sight meets the minimum visual standards for safe driving in the UK.

🔁 3. If you’ve lost your licence – there may still be hope
If the DVLA decides to revoke your licence, it’s not always final.
You can arrange a private eye examination that measures your vision against DVLA visual requirements.

At Oracle Opticians, we’ve successfully helped a patient who lost his licence due to macular degeneration — by conducting a detailed visual assessment and sending a comprehensive clinical report to the DVLA. His licence was reinstated after review.

👓 4. Our advice
If you’re unsure whether you meet DVLA vision standards, or if you’ve been asked to attend an assessment, we can help.
We offer dedicated DVLA vision assessments and provide detailed clinical reports for you to send to the DVLA. Trust the professionals!

📞 Call us on 01274 019892 or
🌐 Book online at www.oracleopticians.com

⸻

💡 Remember: Macular degeneration doesn’t always mean you must stop driving — but regular monitoring and honest communication with your optometrist are key.

👁️ Meet the Team at Oracle Opticians 👁️

Hi, I’m Jag Singh Kainth — owner and Ophthalmic Director of Oracle Opticians here in Shipley, West Yorkshire.

I’ve been a qualified optometrist for nearly two decades, and a little over two years ago I took the leap to take over a small independent practice here in Shipley with one clear vision — to create something different, something meaningful, and something truly patient-centred.

✨ My passion? People.
I’ve always believed that eye care isn’t just about vision — it’s about connection, trust, and time.
At Oracle, I’ve made it my mission to help those who’ve felt overlooked by the system, giving them the care, understanding, and confidence they deserve.

Through this journey, I’ve been privileged to support patients with complex eye conditions such as macular degeneration (AMD) — and in some cases, help improve their outcomes through innovative treatments like the LumiThera Valeda Light Delivery System. I continue to advance my education to stay at the forefront of modern eye health care, ensuring every patient benefits from the latest research and technology.

This practice has become more than just an opticians — it’s a place where care meets community.
Because at the heart of everything we do is one mission:
💚 To protect and preserve the most precious sense you have — your sight.

I’m not here to sell glasses.
I’m here to care for people.

If you’re due your next eye examination and want a practice that gives you time, care, and understanding — we’d love to welcome you.

🌍 The World Works in Mysterious Ways

Every so often, something happens that truly stops you in your tracks.

A gentleman recently came into the practice, wanting to try something different from the usual high street experience. As we got chatting, I asked him about his work — he smiled and said he’s now a furniture maker, but used to be a middle school science teacher.

Curious, I asked if he’d enjoyed teaching. He said he had — that it was time to move on, but he’d loved inspiring his students with fun, hands-on science experiments.

Something clicked. I looked at his name again and said, “I once had a science teacher with the same name who used to do wacky experiments with gas bubbles.”

He paused. Then asked, “Which school?”

I told him. He laughed and said, “That was me.”

It took me a moment to process — over 30 years ago, this very gentleman had been my science teacher. And now, here he was, sitting in my testing room, as my patient.

It’s hard to put into words how full-circle that moment felt. The man who first sparked my curiosity for science was now trusting me with his eyes.

The world really does work in mysterious ways.

I believe human connection is everything. Giving back to the community — to the people who’ve shaped our journeys — is woven into who we are.

To have the opportunity to care for someone who once inspired my love of science… that’s an honour beyond words. ❤️
