Hey parents 👋 Has your child been doing any of these lately? 👀

Sitting a little too close to the TV, squinting at the whiteboard or struggling to see things in the distance could all be signs of myopia (short-sightedness).

Myopia causes distance vision to become blurry, while close-up vision stays clear. It’s one of the most common vision conditions in children, and it’s becoming increasingly widespread.

The good news? It’s easy to check for, and spotting it early means the right support can be put in place sooner. 💙

Photochromic or 'light-adaptive' lenses are designed for busy lifestyles. They adapt seamlessly to changing light, giving you comfort and clarity all day.

• Clear indoors, darken in sunlight automatically
• Light-sensitive molecules react to UV exposure
• Return to clear as UV levels drop

The result? Effortless vision without switching between glasses and sunglasses.

Experience photochromic lenses for yourself in-practice.

Some styles fade, aviators just keep flying.

Born for the cockpits, and later adopted by icons, somehow this is still a design everyone reaches for, decade after decade.

Good vision at work is not one-size-fits-all.

A desk screen, close technical task and industrial environment place different demands on your eyes and eyewear. Wilson, Wilson & Hancock provides VDU screening, industry-specific testing and safety spectacles across its practices in Hastings, Lewes, Rye and Tenterden.

Ever find yourself holding your phone, a menu, or the newspaper a little further away than you used to?

That could be presbyopia, a completely normal part of ageing where the lens in your eye gradually loses flexibility. This makes it harder to focus on things up close, and it usually becomes noticeable from your early-to-mid 40s onwards.

It's just your eyes changing over time, as everything else does. If close-up tasks are becoming more difficult, it could be a good time to book an eye exam.
