FREE ANNUAL EYE TESTS

Early day motion 474, tabled 5 December 2007 by David Crausby (Labour). Signed by 64 members.

That this House is concerned that millions of older people are failing to take advantage of free annual eye tests; notes that regular eye tests can detect early signs of eye disease such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration; and urges the Government to respond positively to the Royal National Institute of Blind People's call for a large-scale eye health awareness campaign targeting older people.
