Why the health of your eyes should not be an afterthought

Did you know that one in 10 British adults has NEVER had an eye examination?

Hard to believe, isn’t it?

It’s a statistic that leaves you muttering under your breath and shaking your head in disbelief – but try this one on for size …

… 20 MILLION British people risk avoidable sight loss because they fail to have regular sight tests.

What’s most baffling, however, is the fact that an eye examination is relatively straightforward and pain-free when compared to a dental check-up, for example.

Most folk would have no qualms about calling up their dentist if their tooth was giving them jip, so why do a large chunk of the population suffer in silence when it comes to their vision?

There’s no easy answer.
