Regular eye tests are vital health check for everyone. You should have an eye test at least every two years, even if you don't have any problems with your vision #EyeWeek #NationalEyeHealthWeek #VisionMatters

When 90% of severely site impaired people are unemployed, and 94% of people believe a visually impaired person can’t do their job, you begin to understand the importance of Fight for Sight previously Vision Foundation #SeeMySkills campaign. There is such a lot of wasted talent.

Is sight loss and eye disease related to aging? The leading causes of sight loss – cataract, macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic eye disease - are all age related. If your sight is not as good as it used to be, you’re not alone. #EyeWeek #VisionMatters
