Eye Injury Prevention is the key to keeping yourself and your eyes safe. To protect your vision: wear safety glasses or goggles for DIY, sports, yard work, welding, or when using chemicals.

Eyes feeling tired? Lesley sheds light on why we feel eye strain and headaches. Try the 20‑20‑20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Blink often, keep your screen an arm’s length away, and adjust brightness for less strain.

Routine eye tests and a healthy lifestyle can help keep your eyes in good condition. Lesley, our Low Vision Clinic optometrist, reminds us how important eating a balanced diet is to eye health. #eyeweek

Age, prolonged screen use, menopause and contact lens wear can all increase the risk of dry eye. Regular blinking, screen breaks and professional eye care can help manage symptoms. Our optometrist Lesley shares ways you can manage this from diet to surroundings. #eyeweek

Sun damage increases your risk of eye change so wear UV protection and a hat on bright days. If you live with visual impairment, wrapround sunglasses are useful. Come and have a look at the choice available in our Resource Room to find the perfect pair for you! 😎☀️#eyeweek

Today marks the start of National Eye Care Week. Even if eyes feel fine, routine eye exams can catch problems early and protect long-term vision. Lesley, our Low Vision Clinic optometrist, shares the importance of checking eye health history within your family #eyeweek
