Date in the diary for Eye Health Week

Organisers have unveiled details for the UK’s biggest campaign for vision and eye health.

National Eye Health Week 2015 will take place between September 21-27, focusing on a different theme each day of the week

Topics this year were to include You and Your Eye Health, Nutrition and the Eye, Technology and UV Protection, organisers said.

David Cartwright, chair of National Eye Health Week, said: ‘The latest Health Survey for England highlights a real disconnect between people’s perceptions of their eye health and the stark reality with one in five respondents who rated their eye health as “excellent” or “very good” admitting that eyesight limits their activities at least sometimes.
