Eye Tests
Regular ocular health examinations are critical in the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle...
...in fact, the Department of Health recommends that everyone should have their eyes tested at least every 2 years. For many people, particularly children and the over 70s, more frequent eye examinations are recommended, and these are available fully-funded by the NHS.
