Get ready for National Eye Health Week

National Eye Health Week 2011 is taking place from 13th June – 19th June and we’re proud to be involved in raising awareness of eye health and helping you learn more about your eyesight. 


What is National Eye Health Week? 
During National Eye health Week (NEHW) eye care professional, charities and organisations from across the UK will join forces to raise awareness of the importance of eye health, in particular the need for regular eye examinations. 


What’s going on?
There are lots of activities going on throughout the week, from community action days, to educational sessions. Visit VisionMatters.org.uk to find out what’s happening in your local community and take the opportunity to find out more about eye health.


How to get involved
Getting involved is easy – simply get your eyes tested and remind friends and family about the importance of getting their eyes tested too. As part of our commitment to eye care, we offer free eye examinations to everyone, regardless of age, employment status or whether you buy from us or not. We don’t believe the health of your eyes should depend on the size of your bank balance, so we’re making it easy for everyone to access quality eye care free of charge. 


You should have your eyes tested approximately every 2 years, but surprisingly few people actually know this, leading to overdue appointments. This can be more frequent for children and those with existing visual problems, but your optician will advise you on the level of care your eyes need, which is why regular check-ups are vital as they can let you know if your requirements have change.


Find out more about NEHW at www.visionmatters.org.uk or call us on 0845 601 3479 to book your free eye test today. 


You only get one pair of eyes – take care of them.
