ASDA Opticians and RNIB, the Royal National Institute of Blind People are raising awareness for good eye care throughout April.
Every day around 100 people start to lose their sight, despite the fact that 50% of sight loss is avoidable.
There are simple steps recommended by RNIB and ASDA Opticians for everyone to follow.
1. Have a regular eye test at least every two years, to check for possible problems.
2. Don't smoke. It greatly increases the risk of contracting certain eye conditions.
3. Eat healthily and stay trim. A good diet can help prevent harmful eye conditions.
4. Always wear sunglasses with a UV filter when you're out and about in the sunshine.
5. Safety first: always wear the appropriate equipment for sports, gardening and DIY.
