If left, some treatable eye conditions can cause irreversible damage. Many believe that when something is wrong, a warning sign is that you will find your eyes hurting – this isn’t always the case. For that reason, the NHS recommends frequent eye-tests every 2 years.
Regular eye tests ensure potentially harmful conditions are caught early, before irreversible damage is caused.
An NHS sight test is free for eligible groups and if considered clinically necessary optical vouchers are available for many of those who require glasses.
