Urging people to speak up about eye care services

20th September 2024

To mark Eye Care Week, we urge local people to share their experiences of eye care.

We want to find out what is working well for people who use eye health services locally – including any barriers to care that you’re facing, like difficulty getting appointments or high costs.

An estimated 50% of sight loss is avoidable. That is why it is essential to have your eyesight tested regularly and, if there is a problem, get help.

Healthwatch England have a national survey – available online: https://bit.ly/eye-care-survey

The survey closes on 29 September 2024.

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 with us online.
