Sadly, on the night of Saturday 4th, one of our shop windows was smashed by a brick. Luckily, only one sheet of glass was smashed so they were unable to get into the shop or take anything.
Can you help? Did you see anything?
Our hero, James, from First Window Surgeon has come to the rescue with his fast service, and the window has been replaced today.
This lady travelled 40min to come and have the 3-D OCT scan which is only provided by a handful of Optometrists in the country.
I have just attended a lecture about headaches given by Stephen Butterworth, Consultant Neurologist at Pinderfields Hospital. He discussed the most common causes of headaches, including migraines, medicines over use headaches, tension headaches and more. It was very interesting, as I regularly have patients who come and talk to me about their headaches, as they can be associated with eye strain. Around 50% of them are eye strain but 50% are not, so it was good to discuss the symptoms of non-ocular headaches and the reasons for why they occur. This helps us when we have a patient with headaches but we cannot find eye strain – we can then refer appropriately to the right professional.
If you have regular headaches, why not come and see us at Pollards? Maybe we could help.

Hello, my name is ***********. I had the OCT 3-D scan as part of my routine eye test, and it picked up my glaucoma.
The tests for glaucoma with the standard NHS eye test did not detect any problems, and I was shocked to find out that 40% of damage has to be done till glaucoma is detected with the NHS eye test!
I am so glad I had it done, I am receiving treatment for my glaucoma now and without that scan my retina would have continued to deteriorate for another year till I saw my Optician again. But now that my Optician has picked it up early, the damage will stop.
I would recommed OCT to everyone, it saved my sight.
