Your everyday glasses may be perfect for most situations, but a second pair can be useful for work, driving, sport, hobbies or simply giving yourself a completely different look.

What would YOUR second pair be for?

UV protection isn't only important during hot summer weather. Your eyes can still be exposed to ultraviolet radiation throughout the year.

And when the sun sits lower in the sky, sunglasses can also make bright autumn days much more comfortable.

𝗔–Z 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: 𝗕 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀

Blepharitis is a common condition that affects the edges of the eyelids. Symptoms can include sore, itchy or gritty-feeling eyes, crusting around the eyelashes and eyelids that stick together.

Good eyelid hygiene can often help manage the condition, but persistent or troublesome symptoms should be assessed by an eye-care professional.

If your eyes regularly feel irritated, ask your optometrist for advice.

𝗔 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: spend a little less time looking at your phone today.

Our eyes weren't designed to spend every waking hour focused on something close-up.

Put the phone down, head outside and give yourself — and your eyes — a change of scenery.

Headaches can have many different causes, but uncorrected vision problems or prolonged close-up work may sometimes contribute to eye strain and discomfort.

If you're experiencing persistent headaches or changes in your vision, don't simply assume you need stronger glasses — arrange an eye examination and seek appropriate medical advice where necessary.

𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Glasses can be practical AND a great way to express your personality.

Perhaps you've always played it safe with your frames? Why not try something a little different next time — a new colour, shape or bolder style might surprise you.

Which would you choose: classic or statement?

It's easy to wait until your vision becomes noticeably blurred, but regular eye examinations are designed to check both your sight and the health of your eyes.

If you can't remember your last appointment, perhaps that's your reminder to check when you're due.

Or perhaps they're pinching behind your ears or sitting slightly crooked?

Don't put up with uncomfortable glasses. A simple professional adjustment can often make a big difference to how your frames look and feel.

Pop in and ask your independent optician for help.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸?

If you've returned to longer days in front of a computer, remember the 20-20-20 rule.

Every 20 minutes, look at something around 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

It won't replace an eye examination if you're having problems, but regular breaks can help reduce symptoms associated with prolonged screen use.

A–Z of Eye Health: A is for Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a very common focusing condition caused by the shape of the cornea or lens inside the eye.

It can make vision appear blurred or distorted at different distances, but in most cases it can be corrected very effectively with glasses or contact lenses.

Your optometrist can identify astigmatism during a routine eye examination.
