We’ve just had a delivery of beautiful William Morris frames; call 01382 224620 for an appointment to see them.

I know that some of you know that my family had also just started an alpaca farm. The animals are very inquisitive and cute and each has its own personality. So, when I’m not testing eyes,I’m mucking out or feeding these gorgeous animals. Life is never dull! I couldn’t resist sharing this picture of Ajax with you – it makes me smile.

If your child needs glasses it is very important that he or she feels happy wearing them and that the glasses fit well and feel comfortable. We love seeing children here at Lindsay and Johnson; we make the eye examination fun and we have a great range of frames. We advise you on the correct fit of the glasses and make whatever adjustments are required to ensure that your child is happy wearing glasses. Book an appointment for your child now on 01382 224620, or ring or email us for more information. The good eyesight of your child is priceless.

We choose our frame ranges very carefully with you in mind. Since the New Year we have chosen fantastic frames from four new ranges; Mango, Nordic, Brooklyn and Tokyo Tom. Tokyo Tom are Japanese-inspired and are incredibly light and stylish. Mango are made in beautiful colours with strong, bold shapes. Nordic are also made from a very light material with revolutionary joints and sides. They come in cool, clear colours. Brooklyn are a young-at-heart range, with an urban, cutting-edge vibe.
If you would like to see any of these new frames call in and see us. We’ll take the time and trouble to frames that really suit you.

Yesterday I gave a talk about eyehealth to a friendship group in Stobswell, Dundee. The talk seemed well-received and I had loads of questions at the end. If you would like me to talk to your Guild, club or society in the Dundee area, ring the practice and we’ll arrange it. I don’t need any technology- I bring laminated cards.

It’s that time of year again – the time when we all make new resolutions- how many have you given up on already? How about a new image though? We have some great ranges of glasses, and if you don’t know what suits you our specially-trained, friendly staff can advise you on what sort of frame and lenses suit your face, colouring and prescription. There is no obligation to buy and we make the experience fun and relaxing. Book an appointment and we can help make a New You for 2016.

The practice is looking beautifully sparkly as we run up to Christmas, and we are remaining busy. I seem to do quite a few home visits at this time of year, travelling to patients who, through ill-health, cannot manage to come into the practice. I really enjoy my “days out”- people are very kind, and often cheery in the face of their difficulties.

In the midst of all the activities, spare a thought for your eye-health; eat up all those lovely sprouts (I really do love them) and carrots and don’t spend all day in front of the television- a little gentle exercise can give your eyes, as well as your tummy, a break!

Meanwhile, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to you all.
