The Eyes Have It with Dr Louise Willins
from Taking Control : Mind/Body/Soul
Do you take your eyesight for granted? Did you know that diabetes is the leading cause of eyesight loss in the working age population? Is excessive screen time damaging the eyes of our young people? As Ophthalmologist, Dr Louise Willins rightly says, we often don't pay attention to our eyes until there's a problem. Louise provides a fascinating and comprehensive insight into her 27 year career and we discuss various medical conditions, some of which can be picked up during a regular eye examination which Louise urges everyone to take advantage of - it's still a free service in Scotland.For more information on Scotland's NHS community eye care services, please copy and paste the following link into your search engine -https://www.nhsinform.scot/care-support-and-rights/nhs-services/eyecare/nhs-community-eyecare/ Hosted on Acast.
