Before the summer holidays arrive, it's worth getting the kids' eyes checked. πŸ‘€
Children's vision can change quickly, and an up-to-date prescription makes a real difference, especially going into a new school year.
NHS eye tests are free for all children under 16.
Give us a call on 01708 221086 or pop in to 36 Station Road, Upminster. πŸ“…

Half term plans sorted? 🌞
While the kids are out and about (and away from screens for a bit!), it's a great time to think about their eye health too. Outdoor play is actually brilliant for developing eyes β€” natural light plays a big role in healthy vision.
If your child hasn't had an eye test this year, we have appointments available after school, over the school holidays and at weekends. NHS tests are free for under 16s.
Drop in or call us on 01708 221086. πŸ‘“

When you choose an independent optician, you get more than just an eye test. 🧑 You get continuity of care - the same familiar faces who know your eyes and your history. Longer appointments, so nothing gets rushed. Tailored advice on specialist lenses. And a real connection to your local community.
We've been part of Upminster for almost 25 years, and we're proud of it. Come and see the difference for yourself.

Your eyesight might feel fine, but that's not always the full picture. πŸ‘€
Regular eye tests can pick up early signs of conditions like glaucoma, as well as indicators of diabetes and changes in blood pressure. Catching these things early makes a real difference.
We recommend an eye test every two years for most adults even if you think your vision hasn't changed.
When was your last one?
