Can your child see their phone clearly—but struggle to see the board at school?
They may have myopia (short-sightedness).

Myopia often begins in childhood and can make distant objects such as classroom boards, road signs and faces appear blurry, while close-up vision remains clear.

🔍 Signs to look out for:
• Blurred distance vision
• Squinting to see clearly
• Eye strain or headaches
• Difficulty seeing the board or signs

⚠️ Things that can increase the risk:
• Family history of myopia
• Lots of close-up work
• Prolonged screen time
• Not spending enough time outdoors

👓 There are ways to manage myopia, including prescription glasses, contact lenses, Ortho-K and myopia control lenses where appropriate.

🌿 Simple habits can also help:
☀️ Aim for at least 2 hours outdoors each day
👀 Follow the 20-20-20 rule
📖 Keep a healthy reading distance
💻 Take regular breaks from screens

Clear vision today. Healthy eyes for tomorrow. 💙

If you're concerned about your child's vision, book a comprehensive eye examination at The Eye Practice.

Myopia Monday
Did you know nearly 1 in 3 kids worldwide now has myopia — and that number keeps climbing? The good news: with early screening and the right plan, progression can often be slowed. If your child squints at the whiteboard or sits closer to the TV, it might be time for a check-up. We make pediatric exams easy — no air puffs, no dilation drops, we promise.

Myopia Monday
Here's a prescription we love giving: more time outside. Research shows regular outdoor time is one of the best ways to help prevent myopia from developing in kids in the first place. So next time you're debating screen time vs. park time — park time wins for their eyes too.

A standard vision chart only measures how clearly you see — it says little about the health of the eye itself.

Conditions like early glaucoma and macular disease often show zero symptoms until vision loss has already begun.

At The Eye Practice, every comprehensive eye test includes OCT scanning as standard — the equivalent of an MRI for your eyes — plus peripheral vision and corneal thickness checks.

Early detection is the single biggest factor in preserving long-term vision.

💬 Comment "TEST" and we'll send you what a comprehensive eye test actually includes — or tap the link in our bio to book.

I’m so excited to share that my dear friend Audrey Molloy has just released her new poetry collection, Fallen.

From its striking opening line — “Wives are afraid of me now.” — the book draws you into a bold and intimate exploration of love, morality, and what it means to be a “fallen woman.” Through history, myth, and deeply personal experience, Audrey gives voice to stories of desire, guilt, judgment, and redemption — while at its heart, Fallen tells a tender love story.

I’m incredibly proud of her and highly recommend giving it a read.

You can purchase Fallen here:

‘Wives are afraid of me now.’ From the opening line of Fallen there is a sense of danger and intimacy. In her latest and most risqué collection Audrey Molloy asks: What makes a good person? What does it mean to be a fallen woman? And can she ever redeem herself? ‘You are one side of an […]
