April marks Women’s Eye Health & Safety Month, a global awareness campaign highlighting the importance of protecting women’s vision.

Women are often at the centre of looking after family health—but it’s just as important to look after your own eyesight.

In the UK, women are more likely to experience sight loss, particularly from age-related conditions. Hormonal changes, ageing, and lifestyle factors such as smoking can all affect eye health over time.

Regular eye tests and simple everyday habits can help protect your vision and support long-term eye health. Early detection is key.

When was your last eye test?

A video/electronic magnifier makes reading and close‑up tasks easier by enlarging text and detail on a screen, giving you clearer, more comfortable viewing.

It’s ideal for reading letters, books, labels, and medication instructions, and just as helpful for managing paperwork, sorting bills, or enjoying hobbies like sewing and crafting.

With adjustable magnification, enhanced contrast, and colour modes that reduce glare, it offers a wider, sharper view that helps reduce eye strain and supports confidence with day‑to‑day tasks.

We offer a range of video mags on our website and also offer a try before you buy on selected products

At Optima in Totnes, spring’s gone wild, the daffodils giggle, the weather’s mild.
We’re closed from Friday till Monday’s end, because an egg told us to - very politely, my friend.

The Optima team is busy in town, chasing spring breezes that keep blowing around. We tried to stay open, we really did try… But a giant egg rolled past and shouted, “Goodbye!”

So while spring does its bouncy, boingy thing, Optima’s off on an egg‑cellent fling.
Back Tuesday morning, ready to bring A slightly scrambled sense of spring.
