If a friend or relative has mentioned an unusual, persistent symptom, please encourage them to get it checked out.
It’s probably nothing to worry about, but if it is cancer, the earlier it’s found, the more treatment options there are available.

It’s #WorldSightDay! A quick reminder: regular eye tests are one of the easiest ways to look after your eyes (and yourself).

Do you go every 2 years, or only book when something feels off? For you, is it a quick check-in, or a chance to pick out new frames?

Let us know!

A page with a checklist. "To do list before my eye test
• Actually go to booked eye test
• Choose glasses I like and then change my mind when I'm there
• Brush teeth for extra fresh breath
• Text bff incase I need someone to come with me
• Remind myself to love my eyes no matter what"
