19th to the 25th of September 2022.
This awareness week for eye care is to encourage more people to have regular sight tests and make lifestyle choices that benefit their vision and general wellbeing.
Please go for an eye test.
There is so much more than opticians just giving you glasses to read or for distance.
They can detect eye problems early that could be prevented or treated. More serious conditions can also be discovered by the advancement and availability of the latest scanning or retinal photography in some branches.
In the past you could only be offered these things in hospital eye clinics or centres.
Your eyesight will be slightly different in each eye at the very least, so seeing an optician will help correct any problems individually with a made to measure prescription.
My own condition was seen at just a normal check up by an Asda optician. Who then referred me to the Eye Centre for further investigation.
