Please read the College of Optometrists guidelines for watching the Eclipse

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

Sarah spent this weekend in Camberley being accepted on the Alcon Propel Program.
A great first day of the program with like minded Contact Lens Opticians & Optometrists learning about the latest contact lens designs, discussing scenarios, and fitting techniques.
…. Lots of learning and take away points to bring back to the practice 👍
A big thanks to the guys at Alcon. Only the beginning of the program but excited to see what else they have in store for us 👀

We always want to help our Low Vision patients and our patients with Visual Impairment access support groups and services. Unfortunately not all of these are on the doorstep and not always accessible to everyone.
So we were thrilled to hear that Vision Northumberland are now holding a drop in session IN HEXHAM on the last Thursday of every month.
If you have or support someone with low vision please pop along for a cuppa in the cafe and say hi the guys at Vision Northumberland.

This weekend Dickinson Opticians had a team at the Ferguson Fitness fundraising event for 141 Sport Tynedale.

The Boss, Mr K also took part in the event but was on another team, Hexham Rotary Club … so naturally there was rivalry, we had a point to prove … he had picked the wrong side … or had he?
Who do you think won? Team Dickinson Opticians or Team Hexham Rotary Club?

Well done to all involved, great event and fantastic morning 😀🚴‍♂️
