Hello,
I work for the charity Blind Children UK and today we have launched a campaign calling for parents to ensure their children's eyes are tested within the first year of school.
Our statistics show that 40% of parents with children under the age of five wrongly assume that eye tests will happen at nursery or school and 13% of parents are not aware that eye examinations are free for the under 16s.
If you'd like to read more on the findings, go to bit.ly/1JtI1p5
We've got a lovely little book for parents and children to download and read, showing that it's not scary to go for an eye test in Olly's Eye Test bit.ly/1hEptMQ
If you'd like to download a FREE guide to childhood sight care you can find it here bit.ly/1LycicP
Thank you
