Lynne Fernandes Optometrists this month

What else is happening at Lynne Fernandes Optometrists this month?

At the other end of the age range to those that will benefit from our “free macula risk assessment” are children. We feel part of our remit as a community practice is to educate. With this in mind we’ve had the pleasure having our Bishopston practice filled with 30 small children on regular occasions with our “Year 1” school visits. We’re getting fairly experienced at this now with five schools visiting or due to visit this year. We even were given an award by one class for their favourite trip! These are relaxed visits with the classes split into 4 groups alternating between learning about different aspects of eyes, vision, glasses and their manufacture. We hope to encourage all our local children to be confident in having regular eye checks, also to reinforce the benefits of accurate vision (and if appropriate vision correction) to education. My hope is when these kids meet Optometrists through work or socially they will have a different view to my interviewer.
