Are you getting the eye care you need?
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.
Remember, you can also contact our Helpdesk for local information and signposting, as well as to share your experiences of health and social care services. You can also share your experiences online.
