This year's National Eye Health Week (NEHW) will take place from 24 to 30 September 2018, promoting the importance of eye health and the need for regular sight tests for all.

Vision really matters. Sight is the sense people fear losing the most, yet many of us don’t know how to look after our eyes – National Eye Health Week aims to change all that!

Macular disease is Britain's
leading cause of sight loss

330
people

have been diagnosed with macular disease since the start of National Eye Health Week.

Every seven minutes of every single day someone in the UK will be diagnosed with this sight-threatening eye condition.
