If you are looking online, consider these glasses that support World Vision

In the UK, we know how important it is to stay fit and healthy and most of us can take responsibility for our own wellbeing, albeit the UK is seeing an increase in those living in poverty. But across the world, there are millions of families that have little access to even minimal healthcare support. It is refreshing, therefore, to know that if our eyesight is failing, we can find perfect glasses that support World Vision.

But let’s start by briefly considering our own eye care.

We regularly focus on eating well and staying healthy, whether that be with regular trips to the doctors, talking to mental health specialists, or going for a 6-month check-up at the dentist – but how often do we think about our eyes? How frequently do we go for an eye exam, or help to soothe our eyes after a day in the sun, in front of a screen or outdoors in the cold?

With digital screen use becoming a large part of our everyday lives, it is important to consider the impacts of this on our eye health. It is crucial to prioritise our vision and make sure that we are doing as much as we can to protect our eyes and prevent them from future damage or degeneration.

But, as we have already said, it is even more important to consider those who do not have access to healthcare, and the effects this can have on their development. So, if we may, let’s introduce to a company with a social conscience…
