Television chef Rosemary Shrager has partnered with Specsavers to raise awareness of regular eye tests during National Eye Health Week.
Shrager, 68, revealed that she is worried about losing her own sight after witnessing several family members lose theirs due to glaucoma.
She said: ‘As a chef my work is my sight – I couldn’t do what I do without it. Cooking is my livelihood so it is so important that I do all I can to look after myself to ensure I can carry on. I urge everyone to make getting their eyes tested a priority.’
Specsavers clinical spokesperson Dr Nigel Best added: ‘The good news is glaucoma can generally be treated effectively if detected early, and in most cases, daily eye drops are used.’
