Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory illness. It can cause severe illness and lead to people being admitted to hospital — especially babies and older adults.

The vaccine is the best way to get protected.

☀️🌕Planning to watch the partial solar eclipse? Protect your eyesight!

A partial solar eclipse will be visible across Scotland on the evening of Wednesday 12 August. While it may be tempting to take a good look at this rare natural phenomenon, viewing the sun without proper protection can cause permanent eye damage.

Remember:
✅ Only use certified eclipse glasses or solar viewers
✅ Consider a safe indirect viewing method, such as a pinhole projector
❌ Never look directly at the sun
❌ Ordinary sunglasses won't protect your eyes
❌ Don't use binoculars, telescopes or cameras without specialist solar filters

If you notice blurred vision, blind spots or any changes to your sight, your local optometrist should usually be your first point of contact.

Optometrists can assess a range of eye conditions and help ensure you get the right care in the right place.
