Sheffield Optometrist backs spring eye health campaign

Of the 3,000 people who were polled for The Eye Love My Local Independent Optician spring MOT campaign, a quarter admitted to not having had their eyes tested for more than two years. The campaign is urging people of every age to book an eye test to maintain the health of what 75 per cent of those surveyed regarded as their most valued of all the four senses.

Sheffield Optometrist Alex Gage said: “We recommend and encourage everyone to have an eye exam at least every two years to maintain prolonged eye health. The eye is the only place in the body where it’s possible to directly look in and see blood vessels and arteries.”
