New look for Christmas?? Tom Ford restock from and we are in lust๐Ÿ’•. Thank you to the wonderful Grace for modelling some of our top picks yesterday.

This star is going far! All the way to the National Sports Arena in Dublin๐Ÿ’ซ We had the pleasure of welcoming Maire to the practice recently. She has a very particular quest....to find a frame she could wear to her first National Gymnastics Competition ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ. Maire will be participating in the JumpSTART tumbling competition so needed a frame as flexible as she is! Maire made an excellent decision in choosing a frame from the Active sports range. The frames use double injection moulding to decrease the risk of deformation and breakage. The wrap around temples help ensure the frame stays in place leading to a comfortable and lightweight wearing experience. Proving she's as clever off as on the gym floor, Maire chose Clearview lenses which give a larger clear optic zone(to nail those landings๐Ÿ˜‰) , are up to 30% thinner, lighter and flatter than standard lenses AND give full UV protection . We think that's a winning combination right there ๐Ÿฅ‡. Wishing you every success on 23rd November Maire and thank you for trusting us with your eye care.

Ruby by name, ruby by frame ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’•. When you are the owner of such a beautiful name, you need a frame to match! We had the pleasure of welcoming Ruby to the practice recently and we are thrilled to introduce her as our newest Myopia Management Superstar . Ruby made the very clever decision to select Stellest lenses from and then picked this most appropriate ruby red Zips frame from . A match made in heaven and I think we all agree they look out of this world on you Ruby๐Ÿฅฐ. What you can't see in the picture is that Ruby is also the queen of hair bows and was sporting a matching red one today๐ŸŽ€. Thank you for modelling for us and for trusting us with your eyecare ๐Ÿ’•

We love Halloween ( have you seen our window...dead good๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ) so we certainly don't want to spoil the fun. We just don't want Halloween to turn into a horror show for your eyes!. Fireworks and bonfires are all unpredictable. Sparks and embers can travel at speed. Add in some wintery wind and it could be an ocular emergency waiting to happen. Unfortunately we have witnessed these sorts of accidents in the practice so our advice is to watch and enjoy from a safe distance and know what direction the wind is blowing ๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ‡๐Ÿ”ฅ. Halloween also sees a spike in the online sale of " novelty contact lenses ". Such sales are illegal in Ireland and for good reason . Often made without complying to any safety standards and sold to those with no experience of handling or caring for lenses, the risk of irreversible sight loss from infection is very high. This is definitely not the look you want this or any Halloween. So, just remember these few words of advice and have yourself a scarily good day tomorrow ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽƒ
