SPECSAVERS is backing National Eye Health Week by urging people to have regular eye tests to help maintain and protect their sight.
Recent research for Specsavers and the Royal National Institute of Blind People, suggests nearly 14 million people in the UK are not having their eyes tested every two years as recommended by optometrists. Some 30% claimed it was because they think there is nothing wrong with their eyes, while 29% said they just don’t have the time.
Specsavers recently announced a new partnership with Royal National Institute of Blind People to support its vital work. The relationship includes a significant multi-media investment to help educate people about eye health and to raise awareness of how regular eye tests can help reduce preventable sight loss.
