Working with local schools to promote children’s eye care, Molsom Optometrists organised an Easter Egg Competition for children up to year 3. The winners of each category received a large chocolate Easter Egg and a pair of Polaroid sunglasses. The prize was very kindly donated by Thorntons at Hills Department store. Runners up in each category also received a chocolate Easter Egg.
Binocular vision is the ability to align both eyes accurately on an object and combine the visual images from each eye into a single, in-depth perception. It is the reliance on binocular vision that makes us perceive 3D imagery on TVs and game consoles.
There are actually many technical variations on 3D imagery for TV. The display either shows two perspectives of an image to your eyes at different times (active glasses) or both perspectives are on the screen at the same time but each eye is only able to see one perspective because of eyewear or a special filter on the screen.
With news that Olympic gold medal winner, Bradley Wiggins, and his mentor, Shane Sutton, have both ended up in hospital after being in collision with vehicles in separate incidents, local optometrist Andy Molsom, from Molsom Optometrists in Spalding and Donington, is helping to raise awareness of the importance of driving with good vision by urging people to have a sight test during Road Safety Week. Coordinated by charity Brake, Road Safety Week is the UK’s flagship road safety event which takes place from 19-25 November 2012.

Optometrist Rob Young previously from Regal Optical Centre in Boston has joined Molsom Opticians in Donington and Spalding as a new member of the clinical team.
Since Regal Optical closed, Rob has worked for a flagship practice in Leicestershire. Many of his former patients from Boston were prepared to travel long distances to see him which demonstrated his popularity.
Practice owner Andy Molsom commented “It’s a very exciting time for us. Rob has a wealth of experience both in hospital optometry and general practice, and will bring valuable skills to the practice. He is especially interested in children’s developmental vision along with general pathology, contact lens practice and rare eye diseases.”
‘Love your eyes’ that is the message being issued by independent optician, Molsom Optometrists in Spalding. Eye health is suffering; recently more than two million people admitted to never having their eyes tested and this September, during National Eye Health Week, Molsom Optometrists is campaigning to change this.
Following a successful open day on 22nd September, to promote the importance of children’s eyecare, lots of children left happy with a balloon and some sweets, and hopefully parents a little better informed about how important children’s eyesight is.
The general public judged the competition for local reception class children, to design a mosaic of the eye using any materials they wished. The winner was St Paul’s Primary School on Queens Road in Spalding. Their mosaic was very ingenious, using the “eye” of a Peacock feather as the iris (coloured part of the eye). On Wednesday 26th September, Andy Molsom and Bridget Scase from Molsom Opticians presented them with a cheque for £50 to go towards the cost of the Outdoor Stage they are making. All of the children also went home with some sweets.
Fifteen years ago local Optician Andy Molsom opened his first independent comm
unity practice in Spalding. From the outset it was his aim to offer exceptional eye care and eye wear at value for money prices to local people. Since establishment the business has gone from strength to strength. Commenting he said “We have always been focused – if you’ll excuse the pun – on providing local people with exceptional eye care and eye wear at value for money prices from an independent practice. When so much money is spent every year by the optical chains promoting a two for one or 50% discount offer we believe the health aspects of optometry are often missed. Most people believe their eye sight is their most important sense and we take pride in putting eye health first every time”.
