A research team from the University of Leeds will be holding small discussion groups during August and September 2011, organised with Caring Together.  They would like to talk to some of our members about their eye health.

Have you ever been for a free eye test?

Has it been a long time since you had your eyes tested?

Have you thought about it, but not actually got round to it?

If you are over 60, registered blind or partially sighted, with diabetes or Glaucome, at risk of Glaucoma, over 40 with a close relative who has glaucoma, receiving income support; Pension Credit Gaurantee Credit or Tax Credit then the NHS provides free eye tests.

If any of the above describe you, we would like to hear your views.

If you are interested, please contact:

Cherril Cliff, Caring Together in Woodhouse and Little London

6 Holborn Court, Leeds LS6 2NY

Tel: 0113 2430298

You will receive £10 for participating, and refreshments will be provided during the group meeting.
