26% ‘PUT-UP’ WITH HEADACHES RATHER THAN SEE OPTICIAN

Analysing the findings of the survey is Gavin Rebello, Partner at award-winning opticians, Patrick and Menzies: “It’s worrying that even painful headaches aren’t enough to force people into going for an eye test and that so many people are putting their eye health at risk by not visiting an optician on a regular basis.

“Eye health is vitally important and it’s only when people are faced with serious sight problems that they do something about it, said Gavin.”

The Eye Love My Local Independent Optician campaign is keen to highlight that independent opticians have been an integral part of community life for decades and continue to play a vital role in serving the eye care needs of local people.

Gavin added: “We’d like to see more people placing greater emphasis on the health of their eyes and in doing so discover the value of visiting an independent optician.”
