Photophobia, or light sensitivity, can sometimes be linked to underlying eye conditions and should not be ignored if it becomes frequent or uncomfortable.

It may be associated with conditions such as:
• Uveitis
• Keratitis
• Ocular albinism
• Conjunctivitis
• Blepharospasm
• Eye injury, surgery, or trauma

If you are experiencing ongoing light sensitivity, booking an eye examination can help identify the cause and ensure you get the right support for your eye health.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and change shape, which can lead to blurred or distorted vision.
While the exact cause is still unknown, factors such as family history, allergies, frequent eye rubbing, and hormonal changes may increase the risk.

Symptoms can include:
Mild blurred vision
Distorted vision
Increased sensitivity to light and glare
Eye pain
Increased short-sightedness or astigmatism

Being aware of the signs is important, as early detection can help with monitoring and management. If you have noticed changes in your vision or have any concerns about your eye health, it is worth booking an eye examination.

It’s easy to overlook your eye health when your vision seems fine, but annual eye tests are about much more than whether you need glasses.

Regular eye examinations can help detect vision changes early, monitor how your eyes are ageing, and even identify signs of wider health concerns before symptoms become noticeable. 

They also make sure your prescription is up to date, helping you stay comfortable, confident, and seeing clearly every day.

At Gardiner Opticians, we’re here to support your eye health with thorough, professional care for the whole family.

What our clients have to say…

“Highly recommended over the usual big high street names, excellent personable service and prescriptions are always spot on. A family member used Specsavers recently and ended up wasting £400 on glasses with an incorrect prescription – never had a problem with Gardiner Opticians in this respect.”
Sheldon Holy
“Appointment today on time excellent service. Not normal eye test. But given excellent advice on how to proceed at eye hospital. No mention of charges. Highly recommended.”
Michael Dennett Thorpe
“Extremely professional, high quality and friendly service at all levels. Catriona and Bob are absolutely brilliant at what they do, with such a great manner about them. They put you completely at ease and allow plenty of time and opportunity to discuss options and questions. The reception team are extremely polite and helpful and the glasses are of exceptional quality. Cannot fault this Opticians, would highly recommend.”
Tracey Brockbank
“Friendly service and expert optometry. My glasses were perfect for me and staff were keen to help with choice of styles, adjusting them for a better fit, and so on. I would definitely recommend.”
Ross McNally
“Can’t recommend highly enough! A friend suggested Gardiners and I can honestly say I’ve never had such a thorough service. I’ve had contact lens and glasses for around 30 years and have tried many Optitian’s over the years, but I will definitely be sticking with Gardiners! Friendly staff and a very individualized service. I received excellent advice on my options and have the best fitting lenses I’ve ever had. Thank you!”
