MPs show support for Devon optical practices

Members of Parliament from across Devon have now paid visits to their local optical practices.

Conservative MP Geoffrey Cox (pictured left) for Torridge and West Devon was the latest to take part in an awareness drive by Devon LOC with the support of the Optical Confederation’s Public Affairs Team. He visited Bill Opticians in Tavistock earlier this month.

Optometrist Charles Bill (also pictured) said: ‘Prevention is better than cure. It’s amazing to think that so much sight loss still occurs in the UK which is preventable. There is an opticians in most towns and these valuable, highly qualified people are an under utilised resource in eye health.’
