Seeing is believing

By Lyndsay - 22 July 2010


MOFFAT Nursery children were given a talk on the importance of good eyesight recently.

Staff from Conlon's opticians launched a new programme where they will visit primary schools and educate children using a fun and interactive presentation they have put together about eyes.

Conlon's gives each child a goodie bag and entry form to a colouring-in competition to win a pair of designer sunglasses. 

The company also provides information for the parents on recognising any problems early on with their child's eyesight and further literature to help maintain healthy eyes.

Young Indy Swan was the winner of the recent colouring-in competition and received a pair of designer sunglasses.

Alison Fraser, branch manager of conlon's in Dumfries, said: "As a company Conlon's has been in this business for over 128 years and we feel it is important for us to educate children about the importance of good eyesight and how to preserve the health and wellness of their eyes.

"We have made the talk very interactive and fun and the children love it and we enjoy presenting it and spending time with them."

"They are also very excited to get the goodie bags we left with them and we had some great entries to the colouring-in competition so well done to all those who took part!"

Pepper Pig eye-test

By Peter MB - 21 February 2010



We have recently added a cartoon for children to the kids section within eyecare. It involves Pepper Pig going for an eye-test. Check it out at: http://www.conlons.co.uk/Peppa_Pig.

Pepper Pig is the lead chacter within a children's show that consists of many different, 5 minute, episodes. It revolves around the life of Peppa, a young girl pig, and her family and friends. It is an excellent cartoon that promotes clear language around everyday topics (such as going to the optician) to young children.
