👀 National Eye Health Week: Healthy Eyes, Healthy Futures 💙
As part of National Eye Health Week, today we’re shining a light on the importance of looking after children’s eye health.
Good vision plays a vital role in a child’s development, learning and confidence. Children use their eyes for almost everything they do — from reading and writing to playing, learning and exploring the world around them.
👓 Regular eye tests are important, even if your child doesn’t appear to have a problem with their vision. Some eye conditions can develop without obvious symptoms, and children may not realise that the way they see the world is different from anyone else.
A simple eye test can help identify problems early, allowing children to get the support they need when it can make a real difference.
This National Eye Health Week, why not make your child’s eye health part of their routine? 💙 Call us on 02844811130
✨ Healthy eyes help children see, learn and thrive.

Only 3 in 10 children have a sight test before they start school*. Clear vision is crucial to a child’s learning and development. It’s recommended all children have a sight test around age 3 or 4 years (sooner if you notice any problems with their vision)

Ahead of the partial solar eclipse this week, The College of Optometrists have issued advice on its safe viewing. Looking directly at the sun can cause serious damage to your eyes! Please use a safe method such as a pinhole projector. You can click the following link for more information: https://coptom.uk/4wUGzfk

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.

Take a moment to read our simple guide on how to view the eclipse safely ➡️ https://coptom.uk/4wUGzfk
