It's World Sight Day! Take time to prioritise your eye health today and check when you are next due a sight test. For most people it should be every one or two years. Sight tests not only check how well you can see, they pick up much more information about your general health. And if you need to replace your specs or fancy a change, you know where we are!

We're not selling glasses for the solar eclipse today, but we'd like to share the following advice from the College of Optometrists to ensure we protect our eyes when viewing it...

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

WARNING: Leaving glasses in hot cars can cause lenses to craze and frames to distort. If glasses/sunglasses are kept in the car keep in the glovebox away from direct sun.
Remember that we have air conditioning in Finch Optical so whilst its super hot out there pop in and see us to be super cool! 😜

At Finch Optical, we love this time of year — when Stroud fills with bluebells, violets, cowslips and daffodils.

🌼✨ Remember sneaking into Mum’s room and trying on her glasses…
Suddenly you were a teacher, a librarian, a world‑famous explorer — all before breakfast.
These two give us that same warm, growing‑up magic. The moment you slip on a pair and feel just a little more grown, a little more you.
If you’re ready to find frames that spark that same childhood wonder — only with the right prescription this time — we’re here to help you see the world in all its soft, lovely detail 💖
