Eye health tips for winter from The College of Optometrists

The College of Optometrists issue eye health tips for winter as cold weather arrives and we spend more time indoors!

As we are in the midst of a cold snap, The College of Optometrists is urging the public to take steps to protect their eye health. Particularly as many more people are working from home. Daniel Hardiman-McCartney FCOptom, Clinical Adviser for The College of Optometrists explains; “If you have any issues with your vision, call your optometrist to book an eye examination. They are open for routine appointments and sight tests so don’t put off your visit.”

The College has developed an eye care poster for members. It shows ways winter can affect vision and exacerbate eye conditions.

Furthermore, according to research conducted by The College in September 2020, two-thirds (66%) of British adults admit to experiencing blurred vision and a third (35%) believe their vision has markedly deteriorated in the past two years.
