An OCT scan gives your optometrist a detailed, cross-sectional view of the retina’s layers.

At Martin James Opticians, OCT forms part of the advanced eye examination. The images create a useful record that can be compared over time and interpreted alongside the rest of your eye-health assessment.

Curious about contact lenses, but not sure where to begin?

A contact-lens assessment considers your vision, eye health, lifestyle and how a lens fits on your eye. It is also the time to learn safe insertion, removal and cleaning habits, rather than relying on guesswork.

Martin James Opticians offers contact-lens assessments and trial options. Find out more here:

That awkward moment when you clean your glasses… and discover it was the windows all along. 👓😅

On the bright side, the lenses are sparkling.

If cleaning your lenses does not improve the view, it may be worth checking when your next eye examination is due. Follow the interval recommended by your optometrist.

Summer eye-care reminder: contact lenses and water do not mix 💧👁️

Swimming pools, hot tubs, the sea and even shower water can expose contact lenses to microorganisms that may cause serious eye infections. The safest approach is to remove your lenses before swimming, showering or using a hot tub, and never rinse lenses or their case with tap water.

If you need clear vision in the water, ask your optometrist about prescription swimming goggles or other suitable options.

If an eye becomes red, painful, sensitive to light or your vision blurs, remove the lenses and seek urgent professional advice.

Your iris is far more than just your eye colour 👁️

The iris is the coloured ring surrounding the pupil, and it works a little like the aperture of a camera. In bright conditions, it makes the pupil smaller. In darker conditions, it allows the pupil to widen so more light can enter the eye.

The amount and distribution of pigment within the iris help determine whether your eyes appear blue, green, hazel or brown. Its intricate pattern is also highly distinctive to each person.

Your iris may be small, but it plays a major role in helping you see comfortably in changing light.

**Sun cream protects their skin. Sunglasses protect their eyes.**

With the summer holidays here, children are spending more time outdoors - but many parents forget that young eyes need UV protection too.

Look for children’s sunglasses with proper UV protection, ideally marked **CE, UKCA or ISO 12312-1**.

Not sure what to choose? Pop in and we’ll help you find safe, comfortable sunglasses for your child.

☀️ The sunshine may feel harmless, but your eyes still need protection.

Bright sunlight does more than make you squint. UV exposure can contribute to long-term eye damage, even on days that do not feel especially hot.

That is why sunglasses should be more than a fashion accessory.

Look for sunglasses that provide proper UVA and UVB protection, fit comfortably and give good coverage around the eyes. Dark lenses alone are not enough - the UV protection is what matters.

Children’s eyes also need protection, so do not forget sunglasses for younger family members too.

Pop in and let us help you choose sunglasses that protect your eyes properly while still looking great.

😎 Protect your eyes. Enjoy the sunshine safely.
