Eye health
Eye tests aren’t just about checking your vision or making sure you have the right glasses – they’re a vital part of your overall health care. Let’s discover why…
Why eye health is so important
Lots of eye health conditions have no early symptoms, making them difficult to spot. If missed, some of these conditions can damage your eyesight or eye health – which is why frequent testing is so important. Optometrists typically recommend annual NHS sight tests for those over 70, and people with diabetes or a family history of glaucoma. But frequent check-ups are important for all of us.
