👻 Happy Halloween from Optometry Scotland! 🎃

With costumes, sweets and spooky fun on the agenda, Halloween is also a good reminder not to forget about children’s eye health

Regular NHS-funded eye examinations can help identify vision problems early, including issues children may not realise they have

If it’s been a while since your child’s last eye examination, why not make an appointment with your local community optometrist?
