The Effect On Your Eyes Working In The City (London) The effects of working in the city can take its toll on your eyes. From air pollution and lighting, to digital screens and even reading, everyday our eyes face a barrage of stimuli and we barely even blink at the thought of long term damage.

Eye Health: European Coalition for Vision Request End To Neglect

Keeping An Eye On Health – The London Vision Clinic Team Are Working Out

It has long been established that a sedentary lifestyle spent staring at a computer screen can have a negative effect on your general health, well-being and comfort, including that of your eyes.

Is Laser Eye Surgery Risky?

Laser Eye Surgery Fears: What If My Optometrist Finds A Problem I Didn’t Know About?
People avoid doctors for many reasons.
