MP for Carshalton and Wallington Tom Brake (centre) recently visited senior optometrist Roop Maini (right) at Wallington Opticians, to find out more about the importance of having regular eye tests and enhanced services in the area.

Pictured with optometrist Eyall Gelbart, chair of Merton, Sutton and Wandsworth LOC, Brake said: 'I was able to see firsthand just how important a proper eye examination can be. It doesn't take much time at all, and it can bring to light many problems that contribute to poor vision.'

Local councillor Sunita Gordon also backed the area's enhanced care schemes: 'I was most enthused to read about the glaucoma scheme, which is most impressive as it will not only be of benefit to the community but could save the PCT approximately £156,000.'
