From your morning cuppa to topping up a jug in the kitchen, the Liquid Level Indicator gives you confidence and independence when pouring.

This small, easy‑to‑use device clips onto the side of a mug, glass, jug or pot. As the liquid rises, it gives two clear alerts, a gentle vibration and an audible beep, first to signal when to add milk, and again when the cup is nearly full. No guesswork, no spills, just simple reassurance.

Built‑in magnets mean you can keep it on the fridge for quick access, and it’s powered by a long‑lasting CR2032 battery which we include. Wipe‑clean and lightweight, it’s a helpful everyday tool for anyone with low vision, reduced sensation, or tremors.

☀️ With hot weather on the way for the Bank Holiday, don't forget to protect your eyes while you enjoy the sunshine☀️

Brighter days are wonderful, but stronger sunlight can be tough on sensitive eyes. Sun Safe Filters are designed to give you comfortable, clearer vision by blocking harmful UV and blue light while still letting beneficial light through.

Their high‑quality blue‑blocking filters help reduce glare, sharpen contrast, and minimise the scattering effect that can make details harder to see in bright conditions. Clinical studies show that short‑wave UV and blue light can damage the retina over time, Sun Safe Filters help protect your eyes by filtering out these potentially harmful rays.

Available from us as fit‑overs, stylish frames, clip‑ons, and polarised options for those who are extremely photophobic or enjoy outdoor hobbies like sailing, skiing, or fishing.

We ask you to stay comfortable, stay protected, and enjoy the long weekend!

Please visit our website for full details of our range of SunSafe filters

If you find it easier to read or work when your magnifier stays steady, the COIL Tilt Stand Magnifier is a simple, reliable support.

Its tilting bi‑aspheric lens gives you a wide, clear viewing area without distortion, so you can focus on the task — not the tool. The fixed focal distance means you don’t need to hold it at exactly the right angle, making it especially helpful for anyone with hand tremors or reduced dexterity.

The daylight‑balanced LED provides bright, even illumination with adjustable brightness, helping reduce glare and bringing out the detail in whatever you’re looking at — from letters and labels to hobbies and paperwork.

A practical, comfortable way to keep doing the things you enjoy.

A Low Vision Assessment is all about how you use your vision in real life. During an appointment, a therapist will explore:

How you manage contrast - what backgrounds and print styles help you see best
How lighting affects clarity - glare, shadows and the angles that work for you
How you use your vision for everyday tasks - reading, cooking, hobbies, tech
What genuinely helps - simple techniques, positioning, and tools that fit your life
Your comfort and confidence - because feeling supported matters as much as the equipment

We offer private Low Vision Assessments in Totnes for personalised, practical advice that helps you make the most of your vision. Call us today to find out more on 01803 864218

Good lighting can transform everyday activities. From reading and cooking to hobbies and paperwork. Here are simple ways to get clearer, more comfortable light at home:

Bring the light close to what you’re doing for clearer contrast.
Keep it to the side and below eye level to avoid glare.
Prevent shadows: light on the left for right‑handed users, and vice versa.
Choose daylight‑tone LEDs (5000–6500K) for crisp, comfortable brightness.
Keep some ambient light on so your eyes aren’t jumping between bright and dark.

Small tweaks, big difference to clarity and comfort.
