Wow, what a super busy Friday we’ve had!

We always love a first pair of glasses moment!

Today's little one chose this lovely Stepper Start frame.👌🙌

STEPPER Start frames are specially designed for children, fitting comfortably on developing faces and helping keep lenses in the correct position.

His pal Bananas, the monkey, came along too… so it was only fair he picked out his own pair of glasses to match! 🐒🍌

📚 Happy World Book Day!📚

Reading, learning, and exploring the world all rely heavily on good vision — in fact, around 80% of learning is visual.

Children are entitled to NHS funded eye tests, with help towards glasses if needed.

If you’re not sure when your child last had their eyes checked, it might be time to book in to help ensure their vision develops as well as it can.

Classic Ray-Ban style, with smart technology built in – take photos, capture moments, listen to music and stay connected, all hands-free!

As well as being great for tech lovers, they can also be a really useful tool for people who struggle with their vision or reading.

They can help maintain independence in everyday life.

If you’d like to know whether they could benefit you or a family member, just pop in for a chat!

✨️What a day in London at the UK’s biggest optical event! ✨

We’re heading back to Upholland full of ideas (and a few lovely new finds 👀).

First up… these beautiful COTI glasses chains.

Founded in 2020 and featured on Dragons’ Den these are practical, stylish and anything but boring!

With Mother’s Day around the corner, we think they’d make a beautiful (and very useful!) gift.

Pop in and take a look..arriving this week! 🥰

Do you know someone living with sight loss?

Simple, everyday things like reading letters or checking food packaging can be frustrating.

Our dispensing optician, Pippa, is always happy to chat about how Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses may help with day-to-day tasks and support a little more independence.

Using a simple voice prompt such as,
“Hey Meta, look and tell me…”
the glasses can read text aloud, identify items and describe what’s in front of you.

If you feel this could make a difference to someone you care about, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

It’s our Ryan’s turn today… Happy Birthday! 🥳🥰

Between full clinics and studying for his Glaucoma Professional Certificate (because apparently he hasn’t learnt enough about eyes yet 👀), we’re hoping today involves less revision and more celebrating!

Have a brilliant day! 🤩

Optometrists and dispensing opticians carry out continuous professional development to make sure their knowledge and skills stay up to date for the patients they care for.

Last night, Sue and Pippa spent the evening at Leigh Infirmary, touring the cataract facilities and gaining a better understanding of the full patient journey — from referral through to surgery and aftercare.

A really informative and worthwhile visit.

Happy Friday!

Vanessa came to collect her gorgeous new specs today… and Bow made sure she supervised the whole thing 🐾

Safe to say they’re both looking very sharp. Vanessa in her new frames, Bow in her knitwear.

Enjoy your new specs, Vanessa! 🤓✨
