Almost five years ago, I wrote a blog post, ‘Is testing eyes bad for my health?’, regarding my concerns that optometrists are sedentary while at work, and that they should take action. The World Health Organization continues to recommend that adults should spend at least 150 minutes each week completing a moderate-intensity activity in order to reduce the risk of obesity and long-term health problems (WHO, 2020). Adults who are sedentary for more than seven hours a day are considered to be particularly at risk: my experience in practice at the time suggested this might apply to many optometrists.
