👂💪 It’s Men’s Health Awareness Month!

This November, we’re encouraging men of all ages to take care of their wellbeing — and that includes hearing health.

Did you know?
➡️ Men are more likely to experience hearing loss than women.
➡️ Many men wait years before seeking help, often putting up with frustration or isolation that can easily be avoided.

Your hearing plays a big role in your mental health, confidence, and connection with others. Regular hearing checks can help you stay on top of your wellbeing and catch any changes early.

At Jackson Opticians, we offer complimentary hearing tests and expert support from our friendly audiologists — so there’s no reason to wait!

💬 Take control of your hearing health today. Call to book an appointment:

🌟 It's that time of year again! 🤔
The Rotary Club’s Annual Quiz has landed, and this year’s theme has us wishing we were anywhere but drizzly Wigan in October! 🌧️

For those who haven't entered before, copies are available here at Jackson Opticians for just £1 (cash only). The Quiz is of the cryptic variety, and if previous years are anything to go on, it will be quite the challenge!

We’ve had a lovely visit from Tina, our B&L rep! 💙
After hitting our target for introducing more patients to the new Bausch + Lomb ULTRA® contact lenses, she brought us this fancy light-up mirror as a thank you! ✨
It’s going to come in very handy for our contact lens teach sessions — Nicola and Lynn have already given it a test run! 😄

Family history matters when it comes to glaucoma. If you have it, your close relatives may be 10 times more likely to develop it too.
National Eye Health Week is the perfect time to have that conversation with your loved ones.

If you are over 40, and have a (close) family history of glaucoma, you are entitled to a free NHS sight test!

Encourage them to take the glaucoma risk quiz – it only takes 30 seconds: https://glaucoma.uk/risk/

Be honest… are your arms starting to feel too short when you’re trying to read? 😅
If so, you’re in good company — most people notice changes to their near vision in their 40s.
👓 The fix is simple: glasses or contact lenses designed just for you.

✨ Patient spotlight! ✨
Rachel has been a loyal patient of ours for years, but recently admitted she was having major FOMO because the rest of her family had already appeared on our social media… so we had to put that right! 😄

Of course, David was more than happy(!) to jump in the photo with her – he never misses a chance for the spotlight! 📸👏

Working at a computer, you should take regular breaks. Prolonged use can lead to staring and potentially dry eyes as a result of insufficient blinking.

Use the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and focus your eyes on something at least 20 feet away.
