🕶️⛱️☀️

☀️ Looking after your eyes is just as important as protecting your skin during the warmer weather.
👁️ Wear sunglasses, stay hydrated and seek shade where possible to help keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.

If you're experiencing eye irritation or discomfort, contact your local optometrist for advice.

The Holiday Public Service Announcement Your Contact Lenses May Not Want You to See! 🙈

Are your contact lenses keeping your eyes healthy, or are they currently hosting an all inclusive spa day for bacteria? 🦠

❌The Reality Check❌

Research shows that while about 85% of contact lens wearers think they are following the rules, the reality is closer to 50%.

We know the temptations. Topping up yesterday’s leftover lens solution, stretching a monthly lens into week six because it "still feels fine." A dip in the pool, a trip to the spa (if you know, you know! 😉) Giving your lens case a quick rinse with tap water which, to your eyes, is basically like washing a plate in Ebbw Fach river. These little shortcuts feel harmless until your eyeball decides to launch a full scale rebellion against a very serious infection. You may think you can hide it behind your sunglasses, but we see you!
🕶️🕵️‍♂️

Our opticians are here to be your loving but brutally honest reality check. They will tell you if your lenses are no longer safe to wear, even if it breaks your heart to hear it. 😭

Please follow your practitioner's advice for responsible contact lens wear. If your eyes are ever painful, red, light sensitive or if you have blurred vision, pop those lenses out immediately and book an appointment with us.

Treat your eyes like the VIPs they are, and you can keep wearing your lenses happily all the way into great grandparenthood! 👵🏻👨‍🦳

Your cornea will thank you for your excellent foresight! 🔮👀

Half term week has brought lots of young faces through the doors at Williams & Parry.

Children’s eye care is incredibly important, as good vision plays a huge part in learning, development, confidence and everyday life both inside and outside the classroom. Many children don’t realise when their vision isn’t quite right, which is why regular eye examinations are so valuable, helping to ensure any issues are picked up as soon as possible.

At Williams & Parry, we always aim to make eye tests relaxed, friendly and enjoyable, helping children feel comfortable and confident throughout their visit.

Thank you to our lovely patient Esther, and her family for allowing us to share this photograph of her wearing her beautiful new spectacles 💖

We are unfortunately still getting a considerable number of patients who are missing their appointments. We will therefore be texting and calling patients beforehand to confirm their attendance. Consequently, some patients may receive two reminders in one day in order to ensure that their appointment is not missed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please be aware that we currently have scaffolding at the front of the building in Brynmawr and access to the doorway is significantly narrowed. This is expected to be present for the next few weeks. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact us prior to your appointment if you have any concerns.
