Throughout September, the team at Wigram and Ware will be taking part in the See The Change Challenge, a fundraising initiative in partnership with the High Performance Foundation.

The challenge will see the team try to walk 3 million steps collectively across the month.

We are aiming to raise £1000, with all funds supporting the High Performance Foundation’s Game Plan programme, which helps young people develop the confidence, resilience and mental strength they need to thrive both in school and in life.

Young people today face enormous pressures, and we're proud to be playing our part in helping them build the skills and mindset they need to overcome challenges. The See The Change Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for our team to come together, get active and make a real difference to young people in our local community.

Across the UK, one in five young people are living with a probable mental health disorder, while 350,000 say they are unhappy with their lives. Through Game Plan - free, high-impact resources featuring celebrity role-models, for schools to use as part of their PSHE programme, young people gain practical tools to build resilience, improve their mindset and gain employability skills.
The team at Wigram and Ware is inviting local residents, patients, businesses and community organisations to support their fundraising efforts.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us reach our £1,000 target and support young people to build stronger futures. We'd love the local community to get behind us and help make a lasting difference.

Advice from the College of Optometrists regarding tomorrow’s solar 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

What can we do about myopia?

🌳 Spend Time Outdoors 🌷

Studies have shown that increasing outdoor time may slow myopia progression. It is considered that natural outdoor light on the retina protects the eye from lengthening and therefore becoming short-sighted.

🖥️ Take Regular Breaks 📱

Reduce your child’s eye strain by reminding them to take breaks from screen time. Use the 20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes take a break for 20 seconds and focus on something in the distance.

🤓 Seek Regular Eye Exams 👀

Although there is currently no cure for myopia, regular eye examinations are essential to monitoring your child’s vision and myopia development to be able to give the best solution available.

👓 Myopia Management 👁️

There are a number of options within myopia management. As an independent practice, we have access to the latest products on the market - including contact lenses and spectacle lenses designed specifically for myopia management.
