🌞 DID YOU KNOW?
Children spend more time outdoors in summer and that's actually good for their eyes!

Studies suggest that spending at least 2 hours outdoors each day may help reduce the risk of myopia (short-sightedness) developing in children.

☀️ This summer, encourage outdoor play—but don't forget sunglasses and a hat for UV protection.

A dip in the pool may seem harmless, but swimming while wearing contact lenses isn't recommended.

Pool water, seawater, and even hot tubs can expose your lenses to bacteria and other microorganisms. Contact lenses can trap these against the surface of your eye, increasing the risk of irritation and, in some cases, serious eye infections.

If you need clear vision while swimming, consider:

💧 Prescription swimming goggles
💧 Daily disposable contact lenses that are removed immediately after swimming (only if swimming without goggles can't be avoided)
💧 Well-fitting swimming goggles over your lenses for added protection
Healthy eyes mean enjoying every swim with confidence.

👁️ If you're unsure about the best option for your lifestyle, speak to your optometrist. We're here to help.

A tennis ball can travel at over 200 km/h, giving players only fractions of a second to react. That's why many professional tennis players include visual training in their routine.

Eye exercises can help improve:
👀 Eye tracking
⚡ Reaction time
🎯 Focus and concentration
🤝 Eye-hand coordination

These skills aren't just valuable in sports, they're important in everyday life too, from reading and driving to learning and working.

Functional vision is about how your eyes and brain work together, not just how clearly you can see.

Could your visual skills be improved?

Book a Functional Vision Assessment and discover how your eyes really perform.

Did you know?

Your eyes can get sunburnt, just like your skin.

Prolonged exposure to Cyprus' intense summer UV rays can damage the surface of your eyes, causing irritation, redness, watering, and light sensitivity.
The damage isn't always immediate but it can build up over time.

Protect your eyes by wearing quality UV-blocking sunglasses and a hat whenever you're outdoors.

Your skin isn't the only thing that needs sun protection.
Your eyes do too.

If your eyes have been feeling more irritated lately, you're not imagining it.

The combination of Cyprus' summer heat, dust in the atmosphere, air conditioning, and longer days outdoors puts extra stress on your eyes.

Redness. Dryness. Burning. Blurry vision by the end of the day.
These aren't just "summer symptoms" to ignore.

Simple habits, staying hydrated, wearing UV-protective sunglasses, taking breaks from screens, and using lubricating eye drops when appropriate, can make a big difference.

And if your eyes feel tired every day, it may be time for a comprehensive eye examination. Sometimes it's not just dry eyes—it's your visual system working harder than it should.

Healthy vision isn't only about seeing clearly. It's about keeping your eyes comfortable all year round.

Feeling truly honored and grateful to have participated as a guest speaker at the 10th Continuing Professional Development Conference in Optometry.

It was a privilege to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and be surrounded by so many dedicated colleagues who are passionate about advancing our profession and improving patient care.

What made this experience even more special was having my parents there to witness this important moment. Their support, encouragement, and belief in me throughout my journey have played a huge role in where I am today.

A heartfelt thank you to the organizers and to all the colleagues who contributed to such an inspiring and educational event. Moments like these remind me how fortunate I am to be part of a profession that values lifelong learning, collaboration, and growth.

Looking forward to continuing to learn, contribute, and grow alongside this wonderful optometric community.

🧠👁️ Did You Know? Your Eyes and Brain Work as a Team!

Many people think vision is just about seeing clearly. But vision is actually a complex process involving both the eyes and the brain.

Even if you have 20/20 eyesight, you may still struggle with tracking, focusing, eye coordination, or visual processing, all skills that are essential for reading, learning, sports, and everyday tasks.

Functional Vision looks beyond eyesight to evaluate how your visual system is working and helps improve these important visual skills.

Because vision is more than just seeing clearly.

What an inspiring few days at SightCity 2026!

I was truly impressed by the incredible range of exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations in low vision and blindness rehabilitation. Equally inspiring were the hundreds of visually impaired and blind visitors attending independently with their white canes and guide dogs—a powerful reminder of why accessibility, inclusion, and assistive technology matter so much.

This year’s exhibition highlighted exciting developments in AI-powered low vision aids, demonstrating how rapidly technology is evolving to support independence and quality of life for people with visual impairment.

It was also a privilege to attend the dealer seminars hosted by Vispero. The team shared a glimpse of something BIG that is coming soon, and I am excited about the potential impact it could have for the vision-impaired community worldwide.

Thank you to everyone who made this event such a valuable and motivating experience. I return home with new ideas, new connections, and renewed enthusiasm for helping people make the most of their vision.
