Look After Your Eyes This Christmas — So You Can Enjoy Every Moment

Look After Your Eyes This Christmas. So You Can Enjoy Every Moment

The festive season brings cosy evenings, twinkling lights and quality time with loved ones. However, chilly air, central heating and extra screen time can leave our eyes feeling strained. Here is how to keep them comfortable and your vision clear this December.

Keep Your Glasses Clean and Clear

Moving between cold and warm temperatures can cause lenses to smudge and fog more easily. Regular cleaning keeps your vision crisp, protects coatings and helps your glasses stay looking their best.

Top tips:

• Clean with a microfibre cloth or lens spray (avoid tissues or clothing)

• Store glasses in their case when not in use

• Our £5 cleaning kits include a refillable spray. A perfect stocking filler.

Our premium coatings, including blue light, anti reflection and driving lenses, give excellent clarity and comfort, especially when lenses are kept clean.

Book Your Eye Test Before the New Year

January gets busy. If your vision has changed or screens leave your eyes feeling tired, book before Christmas for a fresh prescription, dry eye support and expert care.

Reduce Screen Strain

Christmas films, online shopping and video calls all add up. Follow the 20 20 20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds to ease tiredness and headaches.

Stay Hydrated

Cold winds and indoor heating dry our eyes out. Drink plenty of water, use lubricating drops if needed and avoid sitting directly in front of heaters.

Relax With a Warm Compress

Perfect for tired, gritty eyes. Use a microwaveable mask for 5 to 10 minutes to soothe irritation and support healthy oil glands.

Eat for Eye Health

Good news. Festive foods can support healthy eyes.

• Carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkin (rich in vitamin A)

• Brussels sprouts and leafy greens (packed with antioxidants like lutein + zeaxanthin)

• Salmon, mackerel and walnuts (excellent sources of omega 3).

A few simple habits: clean lenses, regular breaks, hydration and an early eye test can keep your eyes comfortable all winter.
