It is one of those things guys, until you have lost it , you don’t realise how much you need it. Look after your eyes boys and girls, eye health is so important. Book yourself in for a test if you haven’t had one in a while. It will either confirm you are OK or will help you catch something early. Poor vision sucks, if you can prevent it…. …then prevent it!
