EYE TESTS

Why is it important to get regular eye tests?

Regular eye tests are important for maintaining good eye health and identifying potential problems early. As optometrists, we look out for important eye issues such as myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia. We also detect eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration before they cause irreversible damage. Therefore, it is important to get regular eye tests as part of your overall healthcare routine.

OUR SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH

Lucy Shuker Paralympian wheelchair tennis player

Kate met Lucy in 2003. Kate had set up and sponsored a wheelchair tennis tournament at the Blackbrook Tennis Centre in Taunton for a number of years. Lucy had only been out of the spinal unit in Sailsbury for 10 months when she drove down to Taunton to take part in her first ever tennis tournament. She was drawn against national & international players and it was clear to see from that very moment she was a natural with a tennis racket. This shouldn’t have come as a surprise given the fact she played badminton at national level before her accident on her motorbike.
Lucy felt very much at home at the tennis centre in Taunton and relocated from Fleet in Hampshire, staying with Kate and winning a place on The British Tennis Foundation development programme to develop her game. With a local coach and the support of the tennis centre Lucy ’s tennis went from strenght to strength and she has been world ranked within the top 10 for singles and doubles in the womens game for nearly 20 years.
Kate has looked after her eyecare during this time providing Lucy with the latest technology in sports eyewear to help enhance her vision on court.

The Honiton Eye Clinic is currently trialling Lucy with contact lenses to give her best corrected vision.
Lucy has represented Great Britain in 4 Paralympic games and Kate recalls being courtside at the London 2012 Olympics and watching Lucy win a medal to a home crowd as one of the most humbling experiences of her life. The sponsorship has been a pleasure but its the enduring friendship of which we are most proud.
