A week of news - down with the kids

Today's edition of the magazine goes back to its youth with two quite telling articles about children's vision.

First of all coverage of another Which? report digging up damning statistics about the state of UK eye care.

This time it found that twice as many PCTs failed to provide screening solutions for local schools this term. A live Optician Online poll has been set up to look further into the matter.

Next we heard confirmation from the University of Cambridge that children who spend more time outdoors have less chance of developing myopia.

Perhaps bunking off school and hanging around the local park isn't so unhealthy after all?
