🌟Referrer Spotlight: Working Better Together with Specsavers North Finchley 🌟 We are delighted to share this glowing feedback from our valued referrer at Specsavers North Finchley. It’s always inspiring to hear how our NHS partnership is positively impacting patient care. "Patients are contacted within days from when we refer them, and seen within a few weeks for their initial appointment under the NHS. Patient feedback has been great, and great visual outcomes from the patients we have received." At Optegra, collaboration is key, and we’re proud to work with such dedicated partners who help us ensure patients receive swift, high-quality care. From the initial referral to surgery and post-op support, our focus remains on delivering the best possible visual outcomes for all. Thank you to our partners and referrers for trusting Optegra. Together, we continue to improve lives through better eye health. #optegra #optegraeyehealthcare #eyecare #PatientCare #EyeHealth #NHS #WorkingBetterTogether #Optometry #Healthcare #ophthalmology #cataractsurgery

Did you know? ♀ Menopause can significantly impact eye health, with studies reporting up to 76% of women experiencing dry eye symptoms during and after this life stage. The hormonal changes that occur, particularly the natural decline in oestrogen levels, can affect tear film composition and production. This can lead to: • Discomfort and irritation • Gritty or burning sensation • Blurred vision • Increased sensitivity to light A few studies also suggest hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can also influence dry eye symptoms, with some studies showing it may exacerbate the condition. To manage dry eye during menopause: - Use artificial tears or lubricating eye drops - Take regular breaks from screen time - Consider omega-3 supplements - Consult an eye care professional for personalised treatment - Maintain good eye hygiene (makeup removal etc.) Don't let dry eye impact your quality of life. Understanding the link between menopause and eye health is crucial for proactive care and management. #optegra #optegraeyehealthcare #MenopauseAwarenessMonth #EyeHealth #DryEye #WomensHealth #nhs
