Both can be treated successfully if detected at a young age. In the younger years especially, it is important parents can recognise the signs of a child struggling to see clearly, or experiencing changes in their vision. As shown by our research, a massive 23% of parents have never taken their child for a sight test, and if problems go undetected, it could have an impact on their child’s development, achievement at school, and daily life. Whether or not you suspect an issue with your child’s vision, it’s always important to get the health of their eyes checked and follow the advice of your optometrist.” All optometric practices are following government guidance, and optometrists are taking the appropriate infection prevention control measures to ensure each patients visit is safe. If you have any concerns about your child’s vision, book an appointment with your local optometrist.

It may only be sixty minutes but the change from summertime, back to GMT, can make a big di erence to the daily lives of many people. Once the clocks go backwards one hour this month, the days will feel shorter, the evenings darker earlier and the nights longer. If that a ects you, then you probably dread the feelings of depression associated with Seasonal A ective Disorder (SAD). If you su er from SAD then winter is a time of low energy and increased anxiety. e time change can also disrupt your normal sleep pattern and make it hard to adjust to waking in the darker mornings. If you struggle to adjust to seasonal changes then Hypnotherapy can help provide you with the abilities to manage your symptoms during the transition to the winter months.
