All adults are being encouraged to protect their eyes and vision by making regular eye examinations part of their normal health routine – as Healthy Eyes awareness week runs this week.

The Healthy Eyes campaign takes place across the country this week until Sunday (January 22) and is highlighting the importance of regular eye examinations.

The campaign is being led by the Association of Optometrists Ireland (AOI) and the Federation of Ophthalmic and Dispensing Opticians (FODO) Ireland and to mark the event, information and promotions will be available during the week in optometrists and opticians.

The campaign partners are encouraging people who have not had their eyes examined recently to visit their local optometrist for an eye test to ensure that their eyes remain healthy.
