We will be wrapping up our year on Tuesday 23rd December at 5pm. We will be back on Monday 5th January at 9am.
There is still time to order contact lenses and spectacles for delivery before the big day, but it is getting tight.

If you need a spectacle adjustment, repair or a pesky eyelash removed, now is the time to call and arrange an appointment.

We have a great supply of sunglasses, cases, cleaners and accessories which make very useful gifts.

This simple test could save your sight.

The Amsler Grid is a useful tool to detect vision problems resulting from damage to the macula (the central part of the retina).

How to do it:

- Cover one eye, then focus on the dot in the centre.

- Do any of the lines look wavy, blurred or distorted?

- Are there any missing areas or dark areas in the grid?

- Don't forget to test both eyes.

Report any irregularity to your eye care professional immediately.

The grid does not replace having your macula tested by an eye care professional, particularly if you are over 50 yrs old or have any risk factors for macular degeneration.

When it comes to children’s vision, trust what’s backed by years of solid evidence.

💡 Reading This Winter? Light Matters!
We all love a good book or crossword on a winter’s evening—but poor lighting can strain your eyes.
Top Tips for Better Reading Comfort:
Choose warm-white LED bulbs instead of harsh blue lights
Use a focused reading lamp over your shoulder
Reduce glare with lampshades or indirect lighting
Make sure your glasses are up-to-date—squinting is a sign it may be time for a check-up!
