Re: Eye Test
In an aging society and with so many of us being affected by the blue light emitted from digital devises, eye health is very important. However one in ten people in the UK have never had their eyes tested and many, many more only go if they are experiencing problems with their vision.An eye test is not just good for checking whether your glasses are up to date. It’s also a vital check on the health of your eyes. An eye test can pick up eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataracts, as well as general health problems, including diabetes and high blood pressure.
The over-50s group is most at risk for cataracts and age-related macular degeneration so it is vital they have regular eye examinations.

My latest glasses have all the above plus tungsten frames and photochromic lenses and they were only $595. BTW mine were done at a private suburban optician's not a chain.
