Tell us: Are you getting the eye care you need?
Healthy vision is something many of us take for granted – until there's a problem.
The immense impact of eye issues on people’s lives is reflected in the sheer scale of eye care services in England. Ophthalmology - the treatment of eye conditions, including diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the eyes - is the largest outpatient specialty in the NHS, with more than 8 million appointments in 2022-2023.
An estimated 50% of sight loss is avoidable. That's why people must be able to have their eyesight tested regularly and, if there is a problem, get the help they need.
But can people get the right eye care? You can help answer this question by completing our short survey.
What do we want to know?
The survey asks you several questions to find out:
- Are you getting your eyesight checked, and do you face any barriers?
- If you have been for an eye test or had other eye care, what was your experience like?
Why is this important?
Your views are vital to helping Government and NHS managers understand what's working and what they need to fix.
