We’ve all heard the childhood saying “Eat your carrots and you’ll see in the dark!”

🧠 Myth: Carrots won’t give you night-vision superpowers.
✔️ Fact: They do contain vitamin A, which is important for healthy eyes - but they can’t fix vision problems or help you see in complete darkness.

So what can support long-term eye health?
🥬 Leafy greens
🥕 Carrots
🐟 Salmon
🫐 Blueberries
🌰 Nuts

A balanced diet is great for your eyes - and knowing the facts helps you look after them properly.

✨ Keep your lenses crystal clear!

Smudges, fingerprints and winter rain can make it hard to see your best - but cleaning your glasses properly makes all the difference.

Here’s the safest way to do it:
👓 Use a clean microfiber cloth
💧 Use lens cleaning spray designed for glasses
❌ Avoid tissues, clothing, or household cleaners - they can scratch or damage coatings

🧺 Did you know you can wash your microfiber cloth?
Pop it in the washing machine every couple of weeks (no softener or conditioner!) and it’ll come out good as new. Most people don’t realise this, and end up using the same greasy cloth for ages!

Keeping your lenses clean helps protect your eyewear and keeps your vision sharp day to day.

👀 Eyes feeling tired after too much screen time?

Try the 20–20–20 rule - every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

A small habit that makes a big difference!

And don’t forget: if you spend a lot of time using a computer for work or study, we can help. We offer a range of tailored occupational, enhanced reading and anti fatigue lenses designed for your working distance, which can ease eye strain and improve comfort. You can also add blue-light protection to help reduce glare and make long hours at a screen feel easier on your eyes.
