Routine eyecare can easily be missed when a person is no longer able to travel independently.

For care-home residents and people receiving support at home, attending a traditional optical practice may require transport, additional staffing, family availability and considerable preparation.

The journey itself may also be difficult or distressing.

Domiciliary eyecare removes that barrier by bringing the optometrist and necessary equipment directly to the individual.

Optomise has provided home-based eyecare since 1999 and supports people in private homes and care homes throughout Northern Ireland.

Accessible eyecare is not simply a matter of convenience. It supports equitable, person-centred healthcare.

⚠️ Red and Amber weather warnings for extreme heat have been issued for many parts of the UK until midnight on Thursday June 25.

People living with dementia are likely to be more vulnerable in hot weather, and with potentially record-breaking temperatures on the way, it's vitally important to take extra caution.

If you’re supporting someone with dementia, here are a few things that can help:

Make sure the person is dressed appropriately. Try light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes made from natural fibres.

Keep the house as cool as possible. Keep curtains or blinds closed during the day - especially in south-facing rooms. In the evening, open the windows to let the warm air out and the colder air in.

Avoid the midday sun. Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day (between 11am and 3pm). Seek out plenty of shade and reapply sunscreen regularly when out.

Find ways to cool off. Help them take a cool bath or shower. Place a washcloth and some iced water nearby to dab themselves with.

Stay hydrated. Leave beakers or jugs of water within easy reach. Provide high-water-content foods like ice lollies, jelly, ice cream, soup, and fruit such as melon.

Ask friends and neighbours to pop in and check the person is ok if you don’t live near them. Perhaps the visitor could stay, have a drink with the person, and make sure the person has everything they need.

📢 Please share so we can keep everyone living with dementia safe in the heat.

Everyone deserves access to quality eye care, no matter their mobility or health challenges.

Domiciliary eye care means that if you or someone you love cannot easily visit a high street optician, a qualified optometrist can bring eye care directly to your home.

Eligible patients may even receive NHS-funded home visits to protect sight, support independence and improve quality of life.

At Optomise Eyecare, we’ve been championing accessible, professional at-home eye care for communities across Northern Ireland since 1999 — because good vision shouldn’t be out of reach.
