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.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴?

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?

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱?

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.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗲?

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.

𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗲𝘆𝗲-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿.

After a week of phones, laptops and tablets, give your eyes regular opportunities to look away from close-up screens.

A walk outside, some gardening or simply sitting with a cup of tea and looking into the distance can provide a welcome change of focus.

Enjoy your Sunday!

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲?

Glare from headlights, difficulty reading signs or feeling less confident after dark can sometimes be linked to changes in your vision.

If night driving is becoming uncomfortable, mention it at your next eye examination.
