SURREY, UK, 2017-Jun-20 — /EPR Network/ — A new independently commissioned report called The Vision of Britain is raising eyebrows all over the country with some remarkable findings. The report, by Optegra Eye Health Care in partnership with Boots Opticians, is an essential guide to eyesight and eye health which reveals some truly astonishing findings following research conducted on over 2,000 people.

The report outlines must-know information and suggestions for parents keen to protect their children’s eyes. For example, 20% of people do not know that parents should screen their children’s eyes between the ages of four and five. Since 80% of what children learn is through the sense of sight, there is a close correlation between a child’s sight and their ability to read, learn, enjoy sports and ultimately reach their full potential as they progress into adulthood. Incredibly, one finding from the Vision of Britain spouts that only 30% of adults link poor school performance with potential eye problems.

The fact filled report also reveals that 58% of UK parents do not know if their child’s school offers a vision screening programme. Some parents are also unaware that access to eye examinations and free glasses for children is provided by the NHS. The report goes on to identify key warning signs that parents should be aware of that may indicate their child is having vision problems.
