OutsideClinic speak on Why eye health is important.

Eye tests aren’t just about checking your vision or making sure you have the right glasses – they’re a vital part of your overall health care. Lots of eye diseases and eye health conditions, such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, or glaucoma, don’t have many symptoms early on, which means they can damage your eyesight or general health if they aren’t picked up.

The NHS recommends to have your eyes tested at least every two years, and sooner if your optician requests. So even if you’re not experiencing any problems with your eyesight right now, it’s important to schedule regular eye tests where these potential problems can be identified. That way if you need further treatment you can be referred to a specialist doctor before too much damage is done to your vision.
