Just because winter is here doesn't mean you can stash away your sunglasses!

Protecting your eyes from the winter sun is just as important as in the summer months. Here's why:

🌨️ UV Radiation: Even on cloudy days, harmful UV rays can pe*****te through the atmosphere, increasing your risk of eye damage and conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration.

🌬️ Wind and Cold: Winter winds can cause dry eyes and irritation, especially if you wear contact lenses. Sunglasses act as a barrier against wind and help keep your eyes moist and comfortable.

👓 Stylish Protection: Our winter collection of sunglasses offers both style and UV protection. From trendy frames to polarised lenses, we have everything you need to keep your eyes safe and stylish this winter.

Our first recycle box is full to the brim! Sending it back to Terracycle now to keep these lenses and packets out of landfill - don’t forget to recycle your contact lenses with us, pop in & drop them into the box 😃

A great reminder to have the kids’ eyes checked at the start of the school year
