🏇👒 Royal Ascot is here

While the hats often steal the spotlight, eyewear can be just as important. Jockeys wear specialist protective goggles to shield their eyes from wind, dust and debris while racing at high speeds. Meanwhile, racegoers can benefit from a stylish pair of sunglasses to help reduce glare and make the most of the action on bright days.

Whether you're heading to Ascot or enjoying the racing from home, here's hoping for great weather and spectacular views 🕶️✨

🥕🥦 Today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day!

Did you know that some vegetables contain nutrients that can help support healthy eyes and vision?

Leafy greens such as spinach and kale are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, while orange vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes provide beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Peppers and broccoli are also great sources of vitamins and antioxidants.

Of course, no single food is a magic solution, but a balanced diet packed with colourful vegetables can play an important role in supporting your overall health, including your eyes.

What's your favourite way to eat your vegetables? 🥗🥕🌈
