The days are getting hotter, and with schools closing because of the heat, it’s clear this warm weather is taking its toll.

Just a reminder that our practice is fully air conditioned. If you’re struggling with the heat, need a break while you’re out and about, or are simply passing by, please feel free to pop in and cool down.

We’re always happy to offer a comfortable place to sit, relax, and enjoy a complimentary cold drink.
For an added bonus, we have a few Eye Examination appointments available this week if you fancy a cool Eye Test 😎

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and look after yourselves during this hot spell. ☀️💧

Football is all about the moments you don’t want to miss — the roar of the crowd, the commentator’s excitement, and that last-minute winning goal. ⚽📺

If you're finding it harder to follow conversations or hear the television clearly, it could be time to check your hearing.

Book your FREE Hearing Health Check at Walsh Opticians & Hearing Care and make sure you're hearing every moment that matters.

👓 Some people collect art. Others collect sunglasses. 🕶️

We’re not saying it’s a guilty pleasure...

But if you’ve ever bought a pair because they made you feel like a movie star, a jet-setter, or simply the best-dressed person in the room, you’re among friends.

After all:

• The first pair is for protecting your eyes.
• The second pair is for work.
• The third pair is for showing off your personality.
• The fourth pair? That’s where the collection begins.

Oversized. Classic. Bold. Colourful.

Every pair says something a little different, and some days, it’s nice to have options.

At Walsh Opticians, we fully support this completely reasonable and totally justifiable hobby. 😉👓

Want to view our new Sunglasses collection or explore different payment options?

☀️ It’s a very warm one today! ☀️

If you’re out and about in Felpham and finding the heat a little too much, please feel free to pop into Walsh Opticians and take a seat in our waiting area to cool down.

We’re more than happy to offer a comfortable, air-conditioned space for anyone who needs a break from the heat. Whether you’re passing by, waiting for a bus, or simply need a few minutes out of the sun, our doors are open.

Please don’t hesitate to come in and make yourself comfortable. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and take care of yourselves during this hot weather. 💙

Today is Nystagmus Awareness Day 👁️

Nystagmus is a condition that causes the eyes to move involuntarily, often from side to side, up and down, or in circular movements. For many people, it can affect vision and make everyday tasks more challenging.

By raising awareness and understanding of conditions like nystagmus, we can help create a more inclusive and accessible world for people living with sight loss.

Take a moment today to learn more about nystagmus and the experiences of those living with the condition.
