Did you know?

• 1.8 million people in the UK are living with sight loss
• For 53% of these, a simple sight test and new spectacles could really help
• A sight test can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, which can be treated if found soon enough
• During a sight test, other health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure may be detected
• For healthy eyes, eat well, don’t smoke and wear eye protection in bright sunlight
• Help SITE support those with sight loss by making a donation to help maintain our range of support services - Call Cathy on 0141 332 0983 for further details.
