Thomas Pocklington Trust -
One in three people will experience sight loss in their lifetime and half of this could be avoided, but this report has found that just one in four people consider routine eye tests as important for maintaining good eye health. The report also uncovered a shocking lack of awareness of ‘reg flag’ symptoms linked to sight-threatening eye conditions. The research was conducted as part of National Eye Health Week (19-25 September) on behalf of Eye Health UK and Thomas Pocklington Trust, and involved interviews with a representative sample of 2,077 UK adults aged 18+, taking place between 24 and 25 August 2022.
