Did you know getting outside is one of the best things you can do for your eyes? 👀🌿☀️

Spending time outdoors isn’t just great for your wellbeing — it can also have a positive impact on your eye health. Natural light helps your eyes focus more comfortably, reduces screen strain, and has even been shown to lower the risk of developing short-sightedness (myopia) in children.

A simple walk, some fresh air, or time in the garden can give your eyes the break they’ve been craving.
More daylight, less eye strain. More distance viewing, less fatigue. Your eyes will thank you!

At Earlam & Christopher Opticians, we’re here to help you keep your vision healthy with personalised advice for the whole family.

🌞 Give your eyes a natural boost — step outside today!

Feeling the effects of heating or air con on your eyes? 👀❄️🔥

As the seasons change, so does the air around us — and both heating and air conditioning can quickly dry out the delicate surface of your eyes.
If you’ve been noticing dryness, irritation, blurred vision or gritty eyes, you’re not alone! These environments pull moisture from the tear film, making dry eye symptoms much more common.

At Earlam & Christopher Opticians, we can help you understand what’s causing your discomfort and recommend the best solutions — from dry eye treatments and tailored advice to specialist drops and lifestyle tips that make a real difference.

💧 Struggling with dry eyes?
Pop in and see us, or give us a call — we’re here to keep your vision comfortable all year round.
