When to See an Optometrist

Your eyes are more than just a window to the world - they are delicate organs deserving of the utmost care and attention. We’re proud to have Jas, our head Optometrist, leading the charge with expert knowledge, precision, and a genuine commitment to your eye health.

But how do you know when it is time to make an appointment? While regular check-ups are important for everyone, certain symptoms and issues signal the need for a thorough examination by a specialist. Here is what to watch out for and why Parker & Co in Newmarket is the place to trust with your eye health and vision.

Signs it's time for a check-up

Blurry Vision

Sudden or gradual changes in clarity are never to be ignored. Whether you are struggling to focus at a distance or close-up, we can diagnose the cause and prescribe lenses or treatments tailored to you.

Frequent Headaches and Migraines

Persistent headaches can sometimes be linked to eye strain or underlying vision issues. We’re experienced in identifying these connections and providing solutions that go beyond pain relief.

Sore, Tired, or Strained Eyes

If your eyes feel constantly fatigued after reading, screen time, or daily activities, it may be a sign of dry eyes or other conditions. We offer advanced assessments and effective treatments to restore comfort.

Red or Irritated Eyes

Redness, soreness, or inflammation can stem from allergies, infections, or environmental factors. Our head Optometrist, Jas, is therapeutically endorsed to prescribe medications, ensuring your eyes heal safely and swiftly.

Flashing Lights and Floaters

These can be alarming symptoms of retinal detachment or other serious conditions requiring immediate attention. If you notice sudden flashes or an increase in floaters, book an urgent appointment.

Dry Eyes

Common yet often overlooked, dry eyes can cause discomfort and affect your quality of life. We use the latest techniques to diagnose and manage this condition with personalised care.
