HEALTH & BEAUTY
See what you’ve
been missing
Whether you’re in need of some
glasses or are well overdue an
eye test, there’s more than meets
the eye at Premier Eyecare.
For over 18 years, Premier Eyecare has been
providing a premier service to patients in four
family-run, welcoming and relaxed branches
across South Yorkshire
Their Rotherham town centre team offer a
personalised approach to eye health to meet their
patients’ unique needs. Premier Eyecare conduct
thorough examinations and take the time to talk
through your lens options and any treatment you
might need to preserve your vision.
Regular eye tests every two years are not just
about the need for new lenses, but can also save
your sight. At the Rotherham branch, they offer
REVO-OCT wellness scanning that can detect any
symptomless abnormalities at the back of the eye
or eye diseases such as glaucoma or diabetic
retinopathy. If not caught or treated early enough,
these can lead to blindness so regular screening is
vital for occular health.
Making eye health a priority from a young age
is equally as important and Premier Eyecare make
tests as fun and stress-free as possible for both
children and their grown-ups.
Kids rarely complain about their sight but
more children and young people are developing
myopia – or short-sightedness – which can get
rapidly worse and lead to a squint or lazy eye if not
treated. If myopia is detected, the Premier team
can control it with special corrective lenses to slow
down the worsening of the eye and avoid the need
for thicker lenses that are frequently changed.
If you’re on the lookout for a shiny new pair
of specs this New Year, Premier Eyecare has a
brilliant selection in store from classic styles to the
latest in designer eyewear. For some added wow
factor, they have a range of bright and bold frames
designed by Bake Off’s Prue Leith. They also have
one of the largest children’s ranges for toddlers to
teens that are durable, comfortable and bursting
with personality.
Their friendly dispensing team is fully trained to
help you find your perfect frames, ensuring they fit
correctly and make you feel good. The team can
also advise on whether your lifestyle would benefit
from upgrading your lenses to help with night time
driving or winter sun.
