Newsroom Special - Campaign to highlight kids' eye health

4 minutes | Tuesday, 4 September 2018

A report released by the Association of Optometrists (AOP) shows that more than half (52%) of parents with school age children think their child will have a full sight test at primary school. However, this may not be the case.

The study also shows that nearly three quarters (74%) of practising optometrists have seen children in the past year who had vision problems that could have been treated more successfully if they had been diagnosed at an earlier age.

The AOP has launched its “A B See campaign” and Henry Leonard joined us to tell us all about it.
