It's September and it's National Eye Health Week again

National Eye Health Week returns this month

National Eye Health Week runs from 21-27 September.

Let’s all spread the word on eye health, Vision Matters is combining some printed and social media material linked to themes from primary eye care services, such as dry eyes and ageing eyes.

Join us as we take action for good eye health this National Eye Health Week 21–27 September.

To help you get involved and spread the word on eye health we’ll be launching a host of free resources (from w/c 31 August). These resources will be linked to daily themes that keep the conversation fresh for the full seven days.

Themes include:

Primary eye care services, focusing on routine sight tests and enhanced primary eye care services.
Children’s eye health, everything parents need to know about looking after their children’s eyes and why kids’ eye care is essential for giving them the ‘best start in life’.
Dry eyes, as cases of dry eye continue to rise NEHW will explore its associations with screen use, menopause, ageing and contact lens wear.
Live well to see well, information about the healthy habits we should all adopt to benefit our eye health.
Self-care Fr-eye-day, a special day sharing every day eye care tips.
Life through a lens, news about lens technologies and a peek at the latest eyewear fashion trends.
Ageing eyes, links to falls, dementia, age-related eye conditions + comorbidities.

One easy way to mark the Week and show your support is to join the social conversation by including the hashtags #EyeWeek or #VisionMatters on your posts AND ‘liking’ and ‘sharing’ social content on the official NEHW social channels:
