Today is World Sight Day. Let’s give our eyes some attention.

Reading a favourite book, getting out and about, catching up with friends. Vision plays a part in so much of what we enjoy.

It’s a reminder to make time for eye care, and to thank the optometrists, dispensers and practice teams who help people care for their vision every day.
