Some colours never chase trends. They define them.

Brown, tortoiseshell, deep blue, classic black. Timeless tones that quietly signal confidence, taste, and considered style. The kind of eyewear that works just as well with tailoring as it does with relaxed weekend wear.

True classics are not about being noticed first. They are about still looking right years later.

If you’re building a wardrobe, or an eyewear collection, these shades will always hold their ground.

Many people over 50 notice subtle changes that creep in over time, often without realising they are signs of dry eye.

You might recognise:
• A gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
• Stinging or burning sensations
• Redness or watery eyes that come and go
• Blurred or fluctuating vision, especially when reading or using screens
• Tired, heavy eyes by the end of the day
• Sensitivity to light or wind
• Discomfort when wearing contact lenses

At Clare & Illingworth, we take dry eye seriously because it is rarely caused by just one simple factor.

Our dry eye assessments are different to our eye examination’s and go far beyond a quick look or a recommendation for drops.

We use advanced diagnostic imaging to understand how your tears, eyelids, and oil glands are actually working, allowing us to identify the root cause of your symptoms and create a tailored plan for long term comfort and eye health.

This means less guesswork, more clarity, and care that is built around you, not a one size fits all solution.

If your eyes have been bothering you, even mildly, it is often worth finding out why.

To book a dry eye assessment at our Wilmslow clinic:
📞 01625 530498
📧 wilmslow@theoptometrist.com
Or DM us on social media

Your eyes work hard for you every day. They deserve care that looks beneath the surface.

Great eyewear is as much about confidence as it is about vision. The right frame should feel balanced on your face, complement your features and suit how you live, not simply follow a trend.

Our role is to guide you through that choice with honesty and expertise, helping you find eyewear that feels natural, comfortable and unmistakably yours.

When eyewear is chosen well, it becomes part of who you are.
