The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a large deterioration in the nation’s eyesight, according to Fight for Sight.

More than one in three (38%) of people in the UK believe that increased screen time in recent months has made their eyes worse.

@mugecevik my other interest is contamination of spectacles on display in optical practices - what is risk between patients and how quickly does the risk disappear. Some have invested in UVC lamps/boxes to “sterilise” them. Would 24 hours reduce it to insignificant amounts anyway

[Mark Mackey @MackeyOpticians]

@mugecevik is there any data on length of time of contamination for outside surfaces? In particular I’m thinking of plastic sailing dinghies outside in the sun and salt air, shared between kids or adults. How long should we wait between use? Many thanks

Poor vision is a major contributory factor of falls in the over 60s. Don’t be blind to the risks. #eyeweek #sightaftersixty
