College urges public to book their next regular eye test as part of New Year health resolutions
Make your eye health a priority in 2026 – top tips for good eye health.
“Going for regular eye tests means any issues with your vision or eye health are detected, diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Eye conditions can emerge at any stage of our lives, from squints and short-sightedness (myopia) that develop in childhood, through to age-related conditions, including presbyopia (struggling with near sight such as reading a restaurant menu or phone screen) and AMD from our forties onwards.
“At your eye test, your optometrist will check for any vision or eye health issues and prescribe glasses or contact lenses if needed. By booking your next regular eye test, practising healthy screen habits, or making sure to remember to wear your glasses when you need them, you can help ensure you have clearer, healthier eyesight for many years to come.”
