Westminster Eye Health Day is hosted by The Eyes Have It partnership to raise the profile of eye health and to garner support for a national eye care strategy amongst Parliamentarians to drive policy change.

Last year’s event successfully hosted 50 Parliamentarians and supported sector calls for a National Clinical Director for Eye Care – a post that has been filled by Ms Louisa Wickham.
