World Sight Day 2025
This World Sight Day, Derbyshire Opticians is highlighting the importance of protecting your vision with regular eye exams. With the latest optical technology and expert care, we're dedicated to keeping your eyes healthy and your sight clear for years to come.
The 9th of October marks World Sight Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of good eye health. At Derbyshire Opticians, we’re proud to support World Sight Day and do our part in helping our community protect and prioritise their eye health.
Why World Sight Day matters
This global initiative reminds us of the importance of good eyecare. Many eye diseases develop silently and early detection through routine exams is the key to preserving vision. By coming together as a community, we can reduce preventable sight loss and support healthier eyes for everyone.
#LoveYourEyes
The Love Your Eyes campaign encourages everyone to take eyecare seriously. It highlights how vital eye health is, not just for personal wellbeing, but for education, employment, and quality of life across the world, and promotes eye care that is accessible, available, and affordable for all.
Eyecare at Derbyshire Opticians
At Derbyshire Opticians, we provide personalised eye care using the latest technology to ensure thorough and precise eye exams so we can offer the best advice and support for every patient.
Optical Coherence Tomography:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive 3D eye scan that uses light waves to capture detailed images of the retina. It can help our optometrists detect early signs of common eye conditions, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, and can track your eye health over time.
Fundus Camera Technology:
Fundus photography is an advanced imaging technique that uses a high-resolution camera to take detailed photos of the back of your eye. These images allow our Optometrists to identify any abnormalities or early signs of eye conditions such as drusen, scar tissue, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.
Regular fundus photography provides a valuable timeline of your eye health, helping us monitor any changes over time and manage diagnosed conditions effectively.
