"It is important to immerse yourself in different opportunities in order to understand what is out there," says Femina, graduate @OfficialUoM. She shares her experience from placements in both hospital and independent practice ➡️ ow.ly/cyij50KZKlU #MotivationMonday #OT

Today we are celebrating. Laura has passed all of her ABDO exams and is now a qualified dispensing optician! Qualification takes 3 years and includes a number of practical and theory examinations. Well done Laura.

@antjo1987 @NorvilleUK We are privileged to work with such skilled, independent suppliers.

@BBROptometry @NorvilleUK Superb superb work

An entirely bespoke pair of wooden spectacles, inscribed with an infamous quote from the Ukrainian army when under attack on snake island. Matched with custom dual mirror lenses, the sentence begins “Russian warship…..” #WeStandWithUkraine

@antjo1987 The handiwork of @NorvilleUK 😎🇺🇦

@BBROptometry Jason (Feb 31st) was telling me about these frames yesterday. Love those lenses! Who made the half and half lenses?

Today is #NationalSunglassesDay! It is estimated that the eyes are 10 times more sensitive to UV than the skin is. Do you have good quality sunglasses?

It’s #loveyourlenses week! It is important to remember to wash your hands before handling your contact lenses. @YourLenses

We asked contact lens optician Nick Black about his favourite #contactlens! #notanad #loveyourlenses

You shouldn’t change your lens type, wearing schedule, replacement frequency, modality, brand, solutions or care procedures without the recommendation of your eyecare practitioner. Don’t forget that you still need regular contact lens checks. #LoveYourLenses

It’s #LoveYourLenses Week! Whenever you are handling contact lenses always make sure you wash and dry your hands thoroughly. Water and contact lenses do not mix. #LoveYourLenses @_BCLA @CooperVisionUK @EyesaretheStory @AOS_hub @MeniconUK

Guidance on mask wearing in a clinical setting has been updated. If you are asymptomatic, you are no longer required to wear a mask when in the practice. However, if you have any symptoms of covid/cold/respiratory infection then you are required to wear a mask.

We are now closed for the bank holiday weekend. We open again on Monday 6th June at 8am.

We are now back up and running on phones and internet. Thank you for your patience!

⚠️ We can currently receive incoming calls, but we have no internet or software access, therefore we CANNOT respond to emails sent to enquiries, or make outgoing calls. We apologise for this inconvenience and hope to be sorted very soon!

Very proud of our contact lens optician Magda Peppa, celebrating her @abdocollege graduation today at Canterbury Cathedral!

Hello folks. From April 1st, we will still require staff and patients to wear face masks when inside the practice. This is because we are a healthcare setting. Thank you for your cooperation. 😷

Spring colours have arrived @glasklaruk cleaning sprays, ideal for keeping your lenses clean and don’t forget- free refills! #ecofriendly #nowastage
