Eyecare
Your sight is precious. Look after your eyes!
Your Eyes Are Amazing
Take good care of them!
Welcome to our eyecare section where you will find interesting and useful information on looking after eyes and eyesight for you and your family. We have put together a useful collection of videos, questions and answers, downloadable guides, advice, and other resources.
If you still can’t find the answer to your questions here, you can contact us using our ask-an-optician form. We’ll send your query to your nearest SPECS network opticians for them to answer. We might even add the question and answer to the website (anonymised of course and only with your permission) for the benefit of others.
