Specsavers provided members of the Scottish, Welsh and Irish Rugby Union teams with optical coherence tomography scans ahead of the Six Nations tournament.
The multiple is the official optician and audiologist for the teams and offered the players the scans as part of their medical care.
Scotland’s Zander Fagerson and Blair Kinghorn took advantage of the hospital grade technology at the Scottish training camp. Fagerson commented: ‘Good eyesight is extremely important and crucial when making the right decision during a match.’
Ultan Dillane, Daver Heffernan and Conor Murray from the Irish team had their eyes examined with the technology at the Aviva Stadium. Murray said: ‘I think at the level we are playing at, it sounds very straightforward, but you do need to see and react quite quickly to things; so, eyesight is highly important for my position as a scrum half and people around me as things can happen quite quickly.’
Welsh players Aaron Wainwright, Leon Brown and Hadleigh Parks also had scans at the Vale Resort.
