Free eyes health consultation

Our local optometrist Nichola Kennedy is offering a free Sightrisk consultation until November 18 to check how lifestyle might cause vision problems in later years.

nichola1"Sightrisk is a tool which we use to calculate an individual's risk of developing AMD, age-related macular degeneration," says Nichola. "Factors that are taken into account include eye health, level of vision, diet and lifestyle."

The calculator then estimates the individual's level of risk of developing AMD (10 percent being the average risk factor, ie 10 in every 100 will have AMD by age 70).

Following the check, Nichola can give tailored advice specific to the individual on reducing that risk. Call 045-484643 for more information.
