Here's useful advice from our College of Optometrists regarding the solar eclipse, and no we don't have any solar eclipse glasses!!

Planning to watch this week's partial solar eclipse? ☀️🌙

If you're planning to watch it, it's important to do so safely.

Looking directly at the sun can cause serious damage to your eyes. Ordinary sunglasses don't provide enough protection, and viewing the eclipse through binoculars, a camera, or a telescope still puts you at risk.

Instead, use a safe viewing method, such as a pinhole projector or certified eclipse glasses with solar filters.

😎 Myth #3: Style gets noticed. Protection makes the difference.
Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory, they're essential protection for your eyes. Just as you wear sunscreen to shield your skin, quality sunglasses help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.
When choosing your next pair, look beyond the frame. Prioritise 100% UVA & UVB protection, then pick the style that suits you best.
Because the best sunglasses don't just complete your look, they help protect your vision for years to come. ☀️🕶️

🕶️ MYTH #2: Dark lenses = Better UV Protection?
The darkness of your lenses has nothing to do with UV protection. Whether your sunglasses have light or dark lenses, what truly matters is that they provide 100% UVA & UVB protection.
✅ Choose sunglasses that protect your eyes, not just your style. Our knowledgeable Dispensing Opticians will be able to help and guide you.
Your vision deserves the best protection every time you step outside. 🌞

🕶️ Myth #1: "You only need sunglasses when it's sunny."
Even on cloudy or overcast days, even in the winter months, harmful UV rays can pass through the clouds and reach your eyes. Long-term UV exposure can contribute to eye conditions such as cataracts and other vision problems.
Protecting your eyes isn't just for bright, sunny days—it's an everyday habit. Make UV-protective sunglasses part of your daily routine, rain or shine.
👓 Your eyes deserve year-round protection.
