🌍💚 World Mental Health Day 2026

Today, we’re reminded that mental health is part of everyone’s health.

Let’s make space for honest conversations, listen without judgment, and remind the people around us that they don’t have to face difficult moments alone. Sometimes, a simple “How are you really doing?” can mean more than we realise.

💬 Talk openly.
👂 Listen with compassion.
🤝 Support one another.
💚 Look after your own mental health, too.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s help create a world where asking for help is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness.

You matter. Your wellbeing matters. And it’s okay not to be okay.

Today marks the start of Menopause awareness month.
A lot of women don't know this but Dry Eye is an extremely common symptom of the menopause and peri-menopause. A recent study has shown that 87.4% of women involved said that the use of artificial tears had improved their dry eye symptoms. These can include itching, watering and discomfort.
If you want more information then give us a call or book in for a dry eye assessment. Alternatively we are hosting a Dry Eye event on November 12th/13th & 14th where we will have expert staff members to advise further and offer demonstrations. Plus much more Dry Eye related. Keep a look out for further information...

As National Eye Health week draws to a close the last few messages are 'protect your eyes all year long and practice self care'.
UV isn't only around when the sun is shining, if the UV level is above 3 you need to be wearing UV protection. This can be sunglasses or Transitions.😎

Look after yourself which in turn looks after your eyes! That means quality sleep, staying hydrated, eating a healthy and balanced diet, ensuring all eye make up is removed well and practice good eye hygiene 🥦🍅💦

National Eye Health week carries on with raising awareness of Dry Eye.
Dry eye is incredibly common and can leave your eyes feeling dry, gritty, sore, tired or watery. You may also notice blurred or fluctuating vision, especially after spending lots of time looking at screens.

There are lots of possible causes, including age, contact lens wear, medications, screen time and your environment.

The good news? 💚 Dry eye can often be managed effectively. If your eyes are feeling uncomfortable, pop in and have a chat with our team — we can help identify what may be causing your symptoms and discuss the options available.

Or come along to Oakwood Eyecare's FREE Dry Eye event on nov 12th, 13th and 14th to have your eyes assessed and watch free demos of some of the products and services we offer for Dry Eye.

👁️ Don’t just put up with uncomfortable eyes — your eyes deserve some TLC!

25/09/2026

National Eye Health Week continues with making everyone aware that all children get an NHS eye test at no cost to yourselves. Children can be seen regularly from being toddlers, right through to adult life. However if you have any concerns with your baby then we can see them too! Our opticians are fully qualified to examine babies and refer for further help if needed. So don't put it off. If things are caught early it really helps.
