Eyecare survey reveals alarming attitudes to eye health in East Anglia…
As headaches go untreated

A survey showing how well we look after our eyesight has revealed that 26% of people in East Anglia confess to ‘putting up’ with painful headaches linked to poor vision rather than seeking help from an optician.

The survey of 3,000 people was commissioned by the www.eyelovelocal.co.uk and was conducted by One Poll.

It shows just how little care people take these days with their eyesight, with 23% admitting to not having been for an eye test for more than two years, despite 43% thinking they would benefit.

Even more worrying is that 39% said they would only go to the opticians if there was a problem with their eyesight. Conversely, 75% of those surveyed value their eyesight above all their other four senses including hearing, touch, taste and smell.
