Vision of Britain

If you’re struggling to read these words, it may be time for a quick trip to the opticians. Optegra Eye Health Care commissioned a survey into the state of the nation’s eye health, after finding that 44% of UK residents don’t head to the opticians every two years for an eye health check, and the results were truly shocking. In fact, the statistics make it look as if we’ll see a 20% increase in complete sight loss by 2020, as your average Brit squints and struggles with everything from the newspaper to their text messages. The good news though, is that there are a few simple adjustments you can make to your daily routine that will help you turn the tide and preserve your eye health for years to come – ensuring you can enjoy a full and active life for years to come. So slap on your sunnies, remember to wash your hands before touching your eyes, and always remove your mascara before going to bed: let’s make 2016 the year of healthier eyes!
