Too much screen time can be unhealthy for our eyes.

If you use a computer screen all day or spend long periods of time looking at your smart device, it is important to look away from your screen regularly to help keep your eyes comfortable.

If you suffer from headaches when using a computer even with regular breaks, you may need to have a pair of glasses, especially for computer work - your optometrist can assess this.

World Health Day 2023 celebrates the World Health Organisations' 75th anniversary.

Celebrating Health For All why not take some extra steps to care for your own personal health and the health of your family. Consider getting a gym membership (and going!), starting a plan for healthier eating, or just getting outside and enjoying some fresh air as we head into the Summer months.

World Glaucoma Week marks thirteen years of raising awareness to eliminate glaucoma blindness.

Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged.

It's usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye.

Glaucoma can lead to loss of vision if it's not diagnosed and treated early.
