What is the Eyecare Trust?
The Eyecare Trust is a registered charity that exists to raise awareness of all aspects of ocular health, the importance of regular eye care and good eye wear. We do this by providing accurate, unbiased eye care information to the public and the media. Trustees include optometrists and representatives of British ophthalmic institutions. If you are an optical company and are interested in becoming an Eyecare Trust patron, please call us on 0845 1295001 for more details.
