According to the RNIB smoking can double your chance of losing your sight.

"Smoking causes harm to the tissues of the eye. Research has confirmed the harmful effects of smoking on eyesight, particularly in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) - one of the UK's leading causes of sight loss - and cataracts."

The NHS has a useful guide on the services they offer to help you give up smoking

It's National Eye Health Week (23rd to 29th September). Make your family's eyes your priority this week. Are your and your loved ones' sight tests up-to-date? 👀

It's recommended that adults have their eyes tested once every two years and children under 16 are entitled to a free NHS sight test every year.

Regular eye examinations will not only help you keep your vision performing at its best achievable level but will identify early signs of changes that require further investigation. They can also show up other health concerns that may be present such as diabetes or thyroid disease.
