Backer for Eye Week

The Eyecare Trust has announced that healthcare cash plan provider HealthSure is to sponsor this year's National Eye Week.

The 12th annual awareness week from September 11-17 is based on the theme 'Healthy Eyes, Healthy You'. The aim is to put eye care at the heart of the public health agenda by encouraging everyone to have regular eye checks.

Eyecare Trust chairman Iain Anderson commented: 'We're delighted to welcome HealthSure as the sponsor of National Eye Week 2006. Together we hope to demonstrate how making subtle changes to your lifestyle can improve eye health and help you manage or minimise your risk of developing common eye conditions.'
