Cataracts are one of the most common eye conditions we see, yet many people don't realise they're developing because the changes happen so gradually.

During Cataract Awareness Month, we're sharing a few facts about what cataracts are, the symptoms to look out for and why regular sight tests matter.

If you have any questions about your vision, our team is always happy to help.

Nystagmus Awareness Day is an opportunity to shine a light on a condition that isn't widely understood, despite affecting thousands of people in the UK and around the world.

By raising awareness, we can help people recognise the signs earlier, improve understanding and ensure those living with nystagmus can access the support they need.

Swipe through to learn more about nystagmus, how it can affect vision and why early identification is so important.

If you have any concerns about eye movement or vision, our team is always here to help with advice and reassurance.

Andrew particularly enjoyed hearing Sahra talk about colour and where she finds her inspiration.

Anyone who knows him will know he isn't afraid of a bit of colour himself, so this part of the visit really struck a chord.

It was fascinating to see how much thought goes into creating frames that help people express their individuality. As Andrew often says, “Frames are the first thing we see, so it’s important to get the right shape and colour.”

It was also lovely to hear how Copenhagen itself, particularly the colourful buildings of Nyhavn, inspires many of Ørgreen's colour choices. Once you see the city through that lens, you begin to notice inspiration everywhere.
