Report produced for National Eye Health Week raises concerns

A new report reveals that many people lack even the most basic ‘know-how’ when it comes to looking after their vision and eye health. ' Testing the Nation's Eye Q' was commissioned by Eye Health UK and the Thomas Pocklington Trust for National Eye Health Week in September 2022.

The report shows a lack of awareness of the benefits of regular sight tests, the 'red flag' issues linked to sight-threatening conditions, and how lifestyle choices, such as diet and smoking can affect the eyes.
