Head Injuries Affect Your Vision

Almost every day you hear people complaining about headaches, eyestrain and difficulty in reading even though when probed, they do not seem to have any obvious stress or exhaustion. Often, many of these people consult the nearest optician to have their eyesight tested and come back happy with a reported 20/20 vision and no solution. The problem with their vision stays right there.

But then, that is exactly why one needs to select an optician carefully. If an optician has the expertise and knowledge to identify other-than-low-vision related problems, then only you would get the right treatment at the right time. Based in 4 different locations within Glasgow, Specsdirect2u, has an expert team of opticians to offer you more than a generic eye test.

A recent scientific study reports that in many cases, the problems such as headaches, eye strain and temporary blurriness of eyes are the complications resulting from some head or ear injuries suffered in the past.

People either don’t remember or do not relate them with what they might be suffering later. You might have fallen from your bicycle when you were a child or have come out of a minor hit-and-run with just an ankle sprain at that time, but the internal injury to your head is making itself known now.

They can happen anywhere and to any of us. Specsdirect2u offers you the ability to protect your eyes with timely and accurate diagnosis. If you cannot visit one of our outlets, we can offer you an eye test at your home. Remember that eye tests are free in Scotland, so there’s no reason not to have one.

Once you have had an eye test completed to satisfaction, we can suggest and provide the appropriate eye wear for you. Even if your vision is completely fine, wearing prescription glasses can help you minimize and control eye strain and focus better. We have a wide range of glasses for you to choose from. You could go for one of our budget offers starting from £10 or select something from our designer collection. We also have a 2 for 1 Glasses offer on board.

With our on-line link, you can browse through our collection of glasses until you find something to your heart’s satisfaction and also compare prices at the same time to ensure you are getting the best price.

Get Eye Smart with Sunglasses

When we go out in the bright sunlight, we protect our body by wearing proper clothing and our skin by 

applying lotions rich with Sun Protection Factor, but what about our eyes? Going out in the sun with naked eyes is as dangerous as exposing your skin to the Ultraviolet rays. They can affect your eyes as much as the rest of your body.

Recent scientific researches on eye health by the Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization report that UV rays are the major cause of many eye diseases such as skin cancer, cataracts, macular degeneration, snow blindness and Ptergium. About 10% of all skin cancer is found on the eyelids. The obvious protection against these rays is to wear sunglasses. Sunglasses prevent 99-100% UV rays from coming in direct contact with your eyes.

But then, wearing just any sunglasses is not enough. You need to be very careful about selecting just the right type and design. The frame should fit your eyes comfortably and the lens shade should be just right for you. We, at Specsdirect2u, help you to find the right fit of UV-absorbent glasses that would not only provide you with maximum protection but also add style and flair to your personality.

Prescription sunglasses by Specsdirect2u help you by adding a precise tint to your lenses. We have ready made frames with a variety of sunglass tints but you can have the tint of your choice in any kind of lens. We are always there to help you figure out what you’re looking for and to help you make the right choices.

We offer you Authentic Designer Sunglasses from a huge range of brands such as Prada, Ray Ban, Tom Ford, Police, Jimmy Choo etc. Michael Kors is yet another new addition to our portfolio of brands. You can also select sports eye wear to protect your eyes from potential injuries. But don’t be deceived by all these brand names. If you prefer affordability to brands, we have sunglasses starting from a minimum range of £10.  We also have a 2 for 1 offer i.e. Buy One Frame And Get Another For Free.

With summer right around the corner, hurry up and get Eye Smart with just the right pair of sunglasses. Speaking of pairs, why settle for 1 only when you can have 2 for the same price.

Consulting the Right Opticians at the Right time

Just as eyes are the windows to a person’s soul, they are also the windows to the world around you. If they’re not taken care of properly, the dirt would accumulate on them just as it would on any window in your house. The result… your vision gets murky and cloudy. Slowly, the world would start looking darker and darker until you lose your vision. 

Eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration are causing sight loss among millions every day. According to an estimate by RNIB, approximately 2 million people in UK alone are living with sight loss. While sight loss can be related to gender, genetics, over-exposure to sunlight and smoking etc., ageing is the most common cause of sight loss. The risk increases as you grow older but the good news is, it can be treated. Like any other disease, it is the right diagnosis at the right time which may help you to control loss of sight in eyes.

When you’re getting your eyes checked, make sure that you get in touch with the right opticians. Choose those opticians who are not only proficient at testing eye sights but also have the ability to identify any abnormalities or disease symptoms. Specsdirect2u offer you just the right service with an efficient and experienced team of opticians. Our team is equipped with the latest knowledge and instruments to determine the accurate level of your vision and check for any abnormal conditions. Located at multiple locations in Glasgow, we offer free eye testing at your choice of location.
