Health & Living Jr 2018 Part 2 of 4: Children’s eyesight

The Association of Optometrists of the UK recently revealed that children are developing permanent problems with their vision because they are not being given eye tests early enough. Find out what some of the common sight problems are, how blue light from our devices can be damaging, and what can be done to maintain our children's eyesight. This is an edited recording of the one-on-one special session that was held at the BFM Health & Living Jr event by AIA Vitality on October 26th.
