Jenny Rathbone AM supports specialist services in the community after visit to Roath optometic practice
Jenny Rathbone Assembly Member for Cardiff Central (Labour) visited Stewart Greenberg optometric practice in Wellfield Road this afternoon.
Jenny Rathbone said “It’s great to learn that all Cardiff optometrists have been trained to do complex eye examinations e.g. after an operation or for specific sight threatening conditions like diabetes, glaucoma and macular degeneration. It makes complete sense for people to see an optometrist in the high street near where they live rather than having to make an unnecessary visit to hospital. Hospital clinics often have long waiting lists and are more difficult for people to get to.
“The Wales Eye Care Service is a good example of prudent healthcare; many other specialist clinics are still located unnecessarily in hospitals.
“As more than half of all sight loss is avoidable - a devastating, life changing event - it is important that everyone gets regular eye tests. It’s free for anyone under 16 or over 60, as well as full-time students. Not enough people know that sight tests are also free for people of black and Asian heritage because of their greater risk of an inherited eye disease.
“I want to ensure that the Welsh NHS are using digital technologies effectively so that all community optometrists can consult eye surgeons immediately if they suspect someone needs to be urgently seen in hospital."
Resident Optometrist, Cath Marshall at Greenberg’s says ‘Regular eye examinations are an important health check-up and can play a vital role in the detection of various health conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration’.
‘We are proud to have Jenny visiting us as part of our commitment to the Wales Eye Care Service which allows patients in Wales to access eye care across Wales free of charge to those how meet the criteria. We hope that Jenny’s visit will encourage as many people as possible to have regular sight tests as appropriate'.

What a busy month!
Stewart Greenberg Opticians are delighted to be chosen as stockists of 3 new brands.
- Oakley
A mad scientist named Jim Jannard began questioning the limits of industry standards. "No one believed my ideas," said Jim. "No one would listen."
In 1975, he went into business for himself. Jim started Oakley with $300 and the simple idea of making products that work better and look better than anything else out there.
"If you’re going to do something, be brave and jump in, but do something meaningful."
For Jim, that meant challenging the limits of conventional thinking. Jim created the O Frame® goggle with a lens curved in the perfect arc of a cylinder, which was championed for its clarity and wide peripheral view.
"I always knew we would succeed. That comes from believing in what you’re doing, and striving to do it better than anyone thought possible."
Jim went back to his lab and started reinventing sunglasses for sports. Few believed it could be done successfully, and most thought the industry’s big companies could not be challenged. Jim used innovations from his previous inventions to create "Eyeshades®," a design that began an evolution of eyewear from generic accessory to vital equipment.
"Inventions wrapped in art." Oakley was founded on that idea, and is still defined by it.
Decades of innovation brought new product technologies, blends of science and art that have been awarded more than 600 patents worldwide. Today, Jannard’s brand has become the mark of excellence and the solution to challenges facing those who cannot compromise on performance.
