Arsenal legend. Football pundit. Style icon? ⚽👓

If you tuned into the opening match last night, you probably noticed that Ian Wright wasn't just delivering brilliant football analysis, he was also serving up some serious eyewear inspiration with those striking green translucent frames!

Wrighty completely proves that glasses aren't just a necessity; they are the ultimate fashion accessory to showcase your personality.

⛳️ AN INSPIRING DAY AT THE NI CREATOR CLASSIC! ⛳️

We were absolutely thrilled and grateful to be invited along to Spa Golf Club today to watch the fantastic Tam .ni take part in the

This event is the first of its kind in Northern Ireland, bringing together 100 local content creators alongside some massive local names, including champion boxer Michael Conlan, comedian Andrew Ryan, and former Man United footballer Darron Gibson all hitting the greens to raise vital funds for charity.

All proceeds from the event are going directly to two amazing causes:
PIPS Su***de Prevention Ireland and Friends of the Cancer Centre.

👁️ Why Tam’s Journey Matters To Us

Our Portadown Mackey Opticians team are incredibly proud sponsors of Tam. As a local blind golfer, Tam uses his TikTok and Instagram (.NI) to share his journey of navigating the sport, and life, with a visual impairment.

Tam’s story is one very close to the heart of our business. After suddenly losing his vision due to complications with diabetes, he has shown ultimate resilience, choosing to live life to the absolute fullest.

When chatting with him today, Tam emphasised a message we can't stress enough: the vital importance of staying on top of regular eye exams, even when you feel your vision hasn't changed.

Show Your Support!

A massive thank you to Tam for inviting us along to such an inspiring event for an even better cause, and huge good luck to everyone competing today!

Drop a comment below to wish Tam and the rest of the creators good luck!
