Why is an eye test so important?

Being able to see properly is vital. Good vision leads to a better quality of life, helps children do well at school and is a legal requirement for driving and certain jobs. Eye tests help to ensure your vision is as good as it can be.

They also help make sure you’re healthy. An eye test can pick up early signs of eye diseases and underlying health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, some brain tumours and multiple sclerosis.
