Are you sensitive to light? 🌞😎 If you find yourself squinting or needing to shield your eyes even in normal light, you're not alone.

Say goodbye to the hassle of switching between regular glasses and sunglasses. With SEIKO Sensity photochromic lenses, you get the best of both worlds. These self-tinting lenses automatically darken when you step outdoors, providing 100% UV protection while maintaining comfortable vision. The best part? They seamlessly transition back to clear when you're indoors.

When a child may have a refractive error, a cycloplegic refraction can help us obtain a highly accurate measurement of their vision.

This specialised assessment temporarily relaxes the eye's focusing system, allowing for precise results and appropriate recommendations if spectacles are needed.

Living with low vision can affect many aspects of daily life, from reading and driving to recognising faces and navigating familiar spaces.

While some causes of low vision cannot be reversed, lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor nutrition and prolonged UV exposure can contribute to the progression of certain eye conditions associated with vision loss.

At Hilliar & Gray, our low vision consultations focus on helping you make the most of your remaining sight through practical advice, specialised devices and personalised support.
