 Izipizi from Paris makes stylish glasses for the whole family. We are pleased to introduce the SUN Junior collection to Newbury!
For kids 5-10, Izipizi SUN Junior offers style to your little one while providing them with 100% UV protection. Available in different shapes and colours, feel free to browse our online shop. We all know to cover the kids in sun cream to protect their skin but don't forget their eyes. UV can damage the eyes, and cause redness and irritation. Excessive UV exposure can increase our risk of cataracts and macular degeneration as we get older. During the global pandemic lockdown, many of us are taking more to the outdoors or playing in the garden more than usual to entertain the kids - and for our own sanity! Why not protect their eyes in some of theses stylish sunnies! Check out this amazing new project from The Corn Exchange in Newbury. They have created a virtual community choir to sing I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing. This song celebrates and recognises all those in our area working hard on the frontline. Those amazing men and women working to keep us all safe and the country going. You will see Valarie Jerome along with I lots of other familiar faces from the Newbury area
The song, I’d like to Teach the World to Sing, was chosen by Sarah Franklin, a local nurse who works at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital. She requested this song on Kennet Radio, to celebrate the hope of the community as well as recognising those on the frontline and thus the virtual choir was created! Another way the Newbury community has came together at this difficult lockdown time to bring a bit of joy or a smile to someone's face.  LiveFitNow was founded by Newbury personal trainer, Vicki Brown. In addition to offering fitness classes, personal training and online coaching, Vicki had created the new LiveFitNow Podcast series. Ms Brown invited Valarie Jerome Optometrists owner, Dr Valarie Jerome, to take part in the new series.
Health is what most people are thinking about lately during this COVID19 crisis. Vicki recognises the importance of total body health and fitness.

The impact of stress can be affect us mentally and physically. The physical effects of stress on the body affect all parts including the eyes and vision.
What stress does to our eyes and vision
What to do Some easy ways to manage stress is to get adequate sleep and exercise. Even moderate exercise just as a walk is good to manage stress. Think about watching how much caffeine you drink and consider stopping smoking. For some people, further treatment is needed such as talk therapy, meditation, breathing exercises and medications. Don’t forget to reach out – talk to family, talk to a friend or talk to your optometrist.  It’s the unconscious eyes and face touching that we are trying to combat. Dirty hands near your face can expose your respiratory system to COVID-19. We are all washing our hands, but your eyes and face need a good clean as well!
After washing your eyelids with a cleaner, consider adding the HYPOCHLOROUS CLEANSING SPRAY to your daily routine. Viruses are susceptible to bleach which shares the same chlorine family as hypochlorous. While bleach is irritating and something to never put near the eyes, hypochlorous is safe, non-irritating and needs no rinsing. It will not sting or harm your eyes. Hypochlorous is known to kill bacteria, fungus and their spores. Studies show that hypochlorous bacteria, fungus, spores and viruses. All our We Love Eyes products are natural and created by an optometrist who understands what people need. Got lash extensions? No need to worry – all these products are safe for you to use.

Wondering what does having good health have to do with your eye health and vision? More that you think. There are some important items to make sure to have on your plate and check off your list in order to keep your vision and eye health at top performance.
Exercise Exercise is can reduce your chance of serious medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. These conditions can affect the health of the eyes and the vision. Moderate physical exercise has been linked to a reduction in the development of glaucoma. And age-related macular degeneration risk has been found to be lower in those who exercised three times a week than people who didn’t. Don’t think you don’t have to be a marathon runner to get the benefits from exercise - climbing the stairs or taking a long walk can keep you fit and healthy. Eating Your Greens Everyone knows you should eat your veg but when it comes to eyes, make sure to eat your green veg! Vegetables like spinach and broccoli are rich in anti-oxidants called lutein and zeaxanthin. Our bodies cannot naturally make these nutrients that it needs so it is important to get it from your diet. Lutein and zeaxanthin help to protect and maintain healthy cells in your eyes - reducing your risk of chronic eye disease including age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Vitamin C Found in fruits and vegetables, vitamin C has some positive effects on the eyes. Vitamin C intake may reduce your risk of cataracts. And when in combinations with other vitamins, it can help to reduce your risk for developing age-related macular degeneration. Vitamin C is needed to make collagen used in keeping the eye structures in their best shape. UV Protection Just like you protect your skin from the sun, you need to protect your eyes from the UV. Excess UV can cause cause burns to the surface of the eyes, cataracts, macular degeneration and cancer. Just because your glasses are tinted doesn’t mean they are giving you the best UV protection. Make sure your sunnies say UVA/UVB or UV400. Remember even your clear spectacles have good UV protection.
