Eastenders actress supports awareness campaign on importance of eye tests
Sep 11 2018
Leading eye research charity Fight for Sight has found that nearly three in ten British adults don’t follow the NHS recommendation to have an eye test every two years, and that the majority of this group (74%) say that it’s either because they can’t afford it or because they ‘can see fine’.
The YouGov research surveyed over 2000 people across Britain and found that 28% of adults get their eyes tested less than once every two years, with nearly one in ten (9%) never getting their eyes tested at all.
Of the 28% who admitted to getting their eyes tested less than once every two years the main reasons given were that they can’t afford it (27%) or that they ‘can see fine’ (52%). Three percent said that they are scared of what they might find out.
