The Moon will pass between the Earth and Sun, creating a partial solar eclipse visible across the UK. And it's a big one. Around 90% of the Sun will be covered at maximum eclipse in many parts of the UK.
But before you grab your sunglasses…STOP!
Ordinary sunglasses do NOT protect your eyes from looking directly at the Sun.
If you're planning to watch:

• Use certified eclipse glasses
• Check they meet ISO 12312-2
• Never look directly at the Sun without appropriate protection
• Follow reputable guidance for safe viewing

If you do not have a pair of eclipse glasses you will need to follow the eclipse indirectly using a pinhole projector. You can make a simple one with a single sheet of card or something more ambitious using a cardboard box, or you can use a colander to project multiple images all at once.

If you could wake up tomorrow and rely less on your glasses, what would you do first?

Lens replacement surgery (also known as refractive lens exchange) replaces your eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens that's tailored to your eyes and lifestyle. For suitable patients, it can reduce dependence on glasses while also preventing future cataracts because the natural lens has already been replaced.
Every patient is different, which is why a detailed consultation is so important.

Behind the Scenes at Paragon Clinic

Before cataract surgery even begins, there's a lot of planning.

This image shows one of the advanced measurements we take during your pre-operative assessment. Known as biometry, it helps us accurately calculate the power of your new intraocular lens (IOL), ensuring we can tailor your treatment to your individual eye.
Every eye is unique, which is why these precise measurements are such an important part of planning cataract surgery.
It's just one of the many steps we take to help achieve the best possible outcome for every patient.

Questions from the Clinic

One of the questions we were asked during yesterday's cataract clinic was, "Does cataract surgery hurt?"

It's a completely understandable concern, and one that we hear regularly from patients considering treatment.

We've included the answers to this common question in today's post...

This transformation was achieved with a combination of upper eyelid blepharoplasty and a direct brow lift.

By addressing both excess eyelid skin and a low brow position, we were able to create a brighter, more refreshed appearance while maintaining the patient's natural features.

The goal isn't to look different, it's to look like a more rested, refreshed version of yourself.

✨ More open-looking eyes
✨ Improved brow position
✨ Natural-looking results

These photos were taken just 3 weeks after surgery. Mild swelling and incision redness are still present and will continue to improve as healing progresses.

Book a consultation to learn whether eyelid and brow rejuvenation may be right for you.

Many people know cataracts can cause blurry vision, but did you know they can also affect the way you see colour?

As cataracts develop, colours may appear faded, dull, or yellowed. Because these changes happen gradually, many people don't realise how much their vision has changed until after treatment.

If you've noticed changes in your vision, our experienced team can help.

June is Cataract Awareness Month – a time to raise awareness of one of the most common causes of vision changes in later life.

Do headlights seem brighter than they used to? Do you find driving at night more difficult than before?

Many people notice changes in their vision gradually, making them easy to dismiss as a normal part of ageing. However, increased glare from headlights, halos around lights, and reduced clarity can all be signs of cataracts.
Because cataracts develop slowly, many people don't realise how much their vision has changed until everyday activities become more challenging.

If night driving is becoming more difficult, it may be time to have your eyes checked.
