Eye problems can affect anyone at any age. It's important that you get your eyes examined regularly by having a free NHS-funded eye examination. This can help ensure:

• your vision is clear and eye strain is avoided
• early detection of any serious issues (including wider health issues), reducing the risk of permanent sight loss
• you remain as independent as possible, for example reducing the risk of falls which increases as we get older.
