Optical professionals discuss menopause support in the workplace ahead of World Menopause Day 2025.
Specsavers senior events and communication manager, Lou Furby, notes that menopause can result in a diverse range of symptoms and affect a woman's confidence.
Something you hear quite often from women going through menopause is the phrase, 'I just don't feel like me'
Furby shares her personal experience, stating that it was only after gaining perspective that she realised how much menopause had affected her.
I now know, being back to my normal self, just how much of myself was missing for 10 years
Furby is the co-founder of MenoTalk, a Specsavers colleague support network launched in 2021.
