Odd visual symptoms can be one of the early signs of a brain tumour. Don't dismiss double vision - see your optometrist asap for a thorough checkup and they can refer you to the hospital eye service if need be! #braintumourawarenessweek #orthoptics #optometry

"Even though we have many treatments, most have some side-effects, which is one reason why compliance with #glaucoma drops is so poor"

Mohit Gupta, our Honorary Secretary & Ophthalmologist @ULHT_News spoke to @PrescriberUK about this cause of blindness https://t.co/3h6W41Y7RM

We couldn’t agree more with the select committees' findings that ‘This generation is being let down’. More must be done to support children and young people with #VisionImpairment.
