Are you getting the eye care you need?

30th July 2024

Healthwatch England have launched a national survey to hear about your experiences of eye care.

An estimated 50% of sight loss is avoidable. That is why people need to be able to have their eyesight tested regularly and, if there is a problem, get the help they need.

But can people get the eye care they need? You can help answer this question by completing the short survey – Eye Care Survey (smartsurvey.co.uk).

What do we want to know?

The survey asks you several questions to find out:

  • Are you getting your eyesight checked, and do you face any barriers?
  • If you have been for an eye test or had other eye care, what was your experience like?

 Why is this important?

Your views are vital to helping Government and NHS managers understand what is working and what they need to fix.
