Age-related macular degeneration is the most common form of macular disease, affecting over 600,000 people in the UK. Age, genetics, poor diet and smoking are all contributory factors. We use the Azul Optics MP-Eye to assess your macular pigments. Give it a try! #MacularWeek

Today marks the start of #GlaucomaAwarenessWeek. Glaucoma is one of the world's leading causes of blindness and it can also be hereditary, so please mention any family history of glaucoma at your appointments with us.

Great post from AOP about how to look after your eyes. Top tips for healthy eyes | Association of Optometrists (AOP) aop.org.uk/advice-and-sup…

New research links air pollution to blindness caused by oxidative damage. Luckily, macular pigments can protect the retina from oxidative damage. Now, if only you knew how much macular pigment protection you had...

Identifying who needs extra protection, like sunglasses, photochromics, blue filtering lenses and macular pigment supplements, just got a whole lot easier with the MP-eye.

Blue light contributes to AMD: our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms has been advanced by new research. Li, Zhu and Qi 2023 have published finding of their research that shows in more detail part of the mechanism that enables short wavelength violet…lnkd.in/ezVa_JZ5

Meet my dog Sam...he doesn't like walks...just like some people don't like eating greens, giving up smoking, watching their weight or wearing sunglasses. But these things, help reduce AMD risk and the MP-eye can help convince patients to look after their eyes.

The MP-eye has been incorporated into research projects at several Universities around the world, and it is always lovely to hear feedback like this. Thank you Grainne Scanlon at Technological University Dublin. Years of pure research followed by several…lnkd.in/e5UmyzCM
