Sight tests are vital health checks. They can spot signs of eye disease years before you notice a change in your vision and even detect a range of common health conditions including #Diabetes, #HighBloodPressure#HeartDisease. Get tested this #EyeWeek because #VisionMatters
Today marks the beginning of #EyeWeek. It’s an opportunity to share all the ways optometrists help people to see clearly, manage/treat eye conditions & reduce the risk of sight loss. Share your stories & give an insight into your consulting room! @CollegeOptomUK#IAmAnOptometrist
