Guide dogs

We are very glad to support the Guide Dogs charity. We have collecting boxes in the practice and our patients are very generous. We also help sponsor a puppy and having seen Buddy and Bailey safely through their training we are now sponsoring the very cute Kevin.

Gorgeous weather

I can’t believe what beautiful weather we have been enjoying in March. With the sun the optometrist’s thoughts turn to prescription sunglasses, because they can bring such benefits of comfort and clarity of vision. We have a great range of frames in our prescription sunglasses offer here at Lindsay and Johnson: ring 01382 224620 to book an appointment and let us help make your summer really great.

Cataract surgery

I have been asked what happens during cataract surgery. Immediately behind the pupil in our eye is a living lens. which is clear when we are born and becomes cloudy a we age. At a certain level of cloudiness it is called a cataract and a denser level of cloudiness it needs to be removed. Under local anaesthetic the surgeon makes a very small cut in the eye, removes the old lens and replaces it with a new,clear plastic one. Typically after about six weeks you would return to your optometrist to check everything has settled down well and to get new glasses.

It’a a modern miracle!
