More than two million British people don't take care of their sight

About 2 and a half million people in Britain have imperfect sight, but they don't do anything about it because of preconceived ideas: they ignore the problem because they are worried about wearing glasses or contact lenses.

In a study carried out by Dr June McNicholas of Warwick University, Great Britain, the sight of 1,000 adults in Glasgow, Manchester and London was tested. The result: 35% failed a simple basic test, one-third on them stating that the result did not surprise them, on the contrary, they were perfectly aware of the problem but did not want to use any sight correction.

Those examined included people who needed perfect sight for their work: dentists, architects, nurses, not to mention that almost all of them regularly drove a car and were therefore a potential danger to themselves and to others.
