Boots backs National Eye Week

The Eyecare Trust has secured sponsorship from Boots Opticians for the 14th National Eye Week which takes place from November 24-30 2008.

The week will culminate with the publication of the State of the Nation's Eyes Report by the Trust. There will also be a focus on conveying the message to people about the importance of undergoing regular eye examinations and the benefits of good vision.

Eyecare Trust chairman Ian Anderson said: 'We're delighted to welcome Boots Opticians as sponsors. Together we are urging all practitioners across the UK to get involved in the campaign and promote the importance of regular sight tests by displaying promotional posters and literature in their practices.'
