When I first got this new website I thought that I would be updating it really regularly but as ever, life takes over. The last few months have been busier than ever because we have been preparing for the arrival of a new family member. Martha Petticrew entered our world on Becky’s 30th birthday on 19/1/10. Mother and baby are doing exceptionally well, although I am writing this post is time about 4.ooam! I can’t think of anything more fragile or more important than life itself, and we now have a new one…truly amazing.
I struggle to express just how hugely touched we have all been by the time, effort and money our patients have spent on cards and gifts for ‘Our Mar’ (I am reliably informed that if this nickname sticks, I am in serious trouble)! I am incredibly proud of what we do here at Petticrew Optometrists, but I never imagined that our patients would care so much about us. Thank you all so very much.

I was thinking the other day about how so many people I meet in every day life, are deeply dissatisfied with the value for money that their glasses provide. Consequently, I thought I would write an article on how you can ensure your glasses look good and work well. Please see page at bottom right.

I have been working on our ‘What do our patients think?’ page of our website. We get such lovely things said about us really regularly that I thought it would show prospective patients what we aim to do here at Petticrew Optometrists. The bit I am really proud of is that we could give you a dozen very recent examples…we don’t get complacent! If you fancy a look, just click on the button to your right…

I was at a lecture recently that was about UV protection and I can’t believe how much damage is done in early life. For more information, see our children’s clinic section.
