Looking after the senses that keep us connected.

Hearing and eyesight often change slowly, so it's easy to miss. Regular checks catch problems early, and many of them are very treatable.

Everyday habits that help

Get regular eye exams
An eye exam checks for glaucoma, cataracts and macular changes, not just your prescription.
Have your hearing tested
A baseline hearing test after fifty makes later changes easier to spot.
Protect your ears
Use ear protection with mowers, chainsaws and power tools, and keep headphone volume moderate.
Wear sunglasses
UV protection helps protect your eyes over the long run.
Eat your greens
Leafy greens, eggs and colourful vegetables carry nutrients your eyes use.
