These checks not only keep your vision sharp, with the perfect corrective lenses if needed, but they can also help spot early signs of a wide range of health issues. And early action can make all the difference.

Did you know your eyes are comprised of rods and cones? Rods allow you to see shapes, while cones are responsible for detecting and deciphering colours.
For many people, the biggest decision when buying spectacles has traditionally concerned which frames to choose.
However, there are also huge variations in lenses, and it is important choose the right ones for your eyes and your needs. Your lenses will be doing all the hard work, so make sure you choose the best. Good quality lenses will provide the sharpest vision, will be more resistant to scratches, and will be much more pleasurable to wear. Cheaper lenses may prove to be a false economy.

Around the world, about 39 million people are blind and roughly 6 times that many have some kind of vision impairment. 👁
That's just one of many reasons you should try and keep your eyes in tip-top condition!
I spy with my little eye...
Do you know when this game was invented? It was actually way back in Victorian England and remains a common children's game even today. The first mention of I spy with my little eye in print was in January 1889.
We'd love to know how many car journeys it's saved since!
