We are proud @WWLNHS that we provide school vision screening. 👀 Such a shame that this is not available for all across UK

The British and Irish Orthoptic Society is calling for screening to take place in all schools in England.

Other AHPs trying out the simulation specs and negotiating the obstacles. It is quite sobering when you realise what limitations of vision some of our patients have #Hemianopia #Vision #AHPday2024

Interesting article on childhood myopia. Our department audits have also shown a rise in childhood myopia. It is important to encourage children to spend time outdoors #NationalEyeHealthWeek
www.bbc.co.uk
There was a notable rise after Covid when children spent less time outdoors, researchers say.
