The most important thing you can do to look after your eyes is to have a regular eye examination, even if you’re not worried about your eye s. It’s easy to neglect your eyes because a lot of the time, your eyes do not hurt.
A FREE NHS eye examination is available to all UK residents, refugees, asylum seekers and some eligible overseas visitors. An eye examination will check your vision and you may need glasses or contact lenses to see better, prevent eye strain or to reach the legal requirements for driving.
Another important reason to have an eye examination is that it helps detect eye problems and signs of other significant health conditions (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and, in rare cases, brain tumours)before they become more serious.
