M&S Opticians

Hearing is a sense that the majority of us rely on every day to communicate and like many people my age, I wrongly assumed I didn’t need to think much about it until I was much older.

Hearing loss doesn’t happen overnight. It’s gradual—so subtle that many people don’t even realise the impact it’s having on their daily lives. Maybe conversations seem a little harder to follow, especially in busy places, perhaps the TV volume keeps creeping up, or you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves more often. These small changes can be easy to ignore, but over time, they can impact your confidence, social life, and overall well-being.

M&S Opticians is thrilled to announce that we have been given the prestigious title of Which? Recommended Opticians. It’s the first time Which? have recommended an optician and this recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional eye care and ensuring every customer enjoys a seamless, high-quality experience.

We believe everyone deserves the best eye care, which is why we have invested in advanced technology in our stores across the UK. The Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a state-of-the-art technology which provides our Optometrists with more information and detail of your eye health in a matter of seconds. The OCT captures a 3D image and scan of the back of your eye, enabling us to detect certain eye conditions much sooner and before you notice any changes in your vision.

If you’re heading on holiday what better way to enhance your getaway than with the perfect pair of sunglasses? Whether you’re basking on a sun-drenched beach, navigating a vibrant city break or conquering snowy peaks, the right sunglasses not only elevate your style but also shield your eyes from UV rays.

Changes to our hearing often occur slowly, over many years, which can sometimes make it difficult to identify for ourselves as we adapt to our new hearing level. However, these changes can often have an impact on our day to day lives; conversations become more difficult, loud environments are overwhelming and previously loved activities like listening to music are no longer able to be enjoyed.

At M&S Opticians we want you to feel your best no matter what your budget. Selecting key items such as accessories can bring your look together adding a sense of luxury and elegance to the simplest of looks. You can attain ‘luxury’ through small touches and eyewear is the perfect example.

Spring is here and it is important to remember that sunglasses are much more than just a fashionable accessory. Sunglasses with UV protection are essential for protecting your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays and glare during all seasons, especially when UV levels are high when the sun is shining.

Entertainment is ever changing, in particular the world of gaming, one of the most popular pastimes enjoyed by people of all ages. While the immersive experiences offered by video games can be thrilling, we think it’s important to be aware of the potential impact they can have on our hearing health. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds without safe listening practices can have long term effects on our hearing.

At M&S Opticians we understand just how important your hearing is, that’s why we offer two types of hearing tests; a hearing screening and a full hearing health check, depending on your individual needs.
