“Our eye health deteriorates as we get older, so it’s important to go for a regular check-up to make sure they’re healthy, as well as to keep your prescription up to date,” says Mark Blankstone.
An optician can check for everything from cataracts to glaucoma (a condition which affects the sight due to a buildup of pressure in the eye), both of which become more of a risk as you age.
“An eye test can also detect some non-eye-related disorders. Since we’re more prone to being affected by some conditions as we age, it’s really useful,” adds Mark.
It could pick up on early warning signs for diabetes or high blood pressure.
All adults should have a check-up at least every two years. But if you spot any of these warning signs in your parents, encourage them to book a test today.
We’re encouraging everyone to get their eyes tested for World Sight Day on October 10. Plus throughout October, we are donating towards World Sight Month for every test we conduct. More details contact Blankstones Opticians today
