We think Fearne looks as pretty as a picture in her first-ever glasses – and apparently she loves them.

We think Joseph looks great (and a little cheeky!) in his new glasses. We are open over the Christmas holidays so bring your children in to have their eyes examined. We make the examinations fun and afterwards you can be sure that either your children don’t need glasses. or if they do they will be wearing frames that suit them and are comfortable. Children may not realise that there is anything wrong with their eyes and if there is it can hold them back educationally and socially. You want the very best for your children so make sure they can see well.

We also have a dedicated children’s play area so our young patients love coming. Ring 01382 224620 to book an appointment.

There is so much help available to help you stop- for the sake of your eyesight take advantage of it.

Children often don’t realise that they may have a problem with their eyes- the assume everyone else sees the same- and especially if the problem is only in one eye (which can have huge repercussions in later life) the parents may not realise there is a problem either.
