This week is National Eye Health Week 2022

September 20, 2022

This week is National Eye Health Week which means there is a national campaign to get the message out that to ensure the good health of your eyes you should have an eye sight test once every two years, regardless of whether you wear glasses or not.

Two million people in the UK are living with sight loss which is severe enough to have a significant impact on their daily lives. Half of this sight loss is avoidable, yet millions of people are at risk of sight loss by failing to take care of their eyes.

Note: In an emergency regarding your eyes you should always call 999, visit your nearest A&E department or BMEC.
