Mr. Aaron Mullaniff:

Vision Ireland has committed to an initiative that will focus entirely on awareness and education. Next month, we will put a vision van on the road, similar to BreastCheck. That vision van will visit 150 towns and villages around Ireland. Free of charge, it will provide a level of screening using a fundus camera and will check the back of people’s retinas. We will also be raising awareness around the dangers of self-prescribing and educating people on how they can look after their eyes by eating well, not smoking and taking regular eye tests.
