Hello,
I’m Arfan, your Senior Optometrist here at Bottomley Styling Opticians. Tomorrow is World Health Day, I want to take a moment to discuss the importance of maintaining eye health and why we believe in seeing you every year rather than every two years, as is common with NHS guidelines.
Eye Health is an Ongoing Journey
Our eyes are not just windows to the world; they are intricate organs that can change over time. Just like your overall health, your vision can evolve. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring these changes and ensuring your eyes remain in optimal condition.
By seeing you annually, we can detect any potential issues early—whether it’s a minor change in your prescription or a more significant concern that requires immediate attention. After all, prevention is always better than cure, and your eyesight is invaluable!

Personalised Care Tailored to You
At Bottomley Styling Opticians, we pride ourselves on providing a personalised experience. When you visit us each year, we get to know you better—your lifestyle, your vision needs, and any concerns you may have. This understanding allows us to tailor our recommendations specifically for you.
Whether you’re an avid reader, spend hours on digital devices, or enjoy outdoor activities, we can offer insights and solutions that enhance your visual comfort and overall eye health.
The Benefits of Regular Eye Exams
Annual eye exams are not just about checking your prescription; they involve a comprehensive evaluation of your eye health – hyperlink to booking. During your visit, we assess for common eye conditions, monitor any existing issues, and check for signs of diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, ensuring you maintain optimal vision for years to come.
Plus, regular visits keep you informed about the latest advancements in eyewear technology and eye care practices. We love sharing tips and tricks to help you make the most of your eyewear and maintain great eye health!
Building Trust and Relationships
Seeing you every year also helps us build lasting relationships. We genuinely care about your well-being and want you to feel comfortable and confident in your eyewear choices. Your trust in us is invaluable, and we are committed to providing the highest level of care and service.
On World Health Day, let’s prioritise our health—starting with our eyes! While the NHS may recommend visits every two years, we believe that annual check-ups offer a more proactive approach to maintaining your eye health. With the right care, you can enjoy clear vision and a better quality of life.
If it’s been a while since your last visit, we invite you to book an appointment with us today. Together, let’s ensure your vision remains sharp and bright for all the adventures that lie ahead!
