Get your eyes tested this julEYE Get your eyes tested this July - that’s the focus of the julEYE campaign in 2010. Seventy-five per cent of vision loss is preventable or treatable if detected early, yet every 65 minutes an Australian loses part or all of their vision.
Vision loss can affect people at any time in their lives and it often happens gradually, so by the time it becomes noticeable, the damage is done. The Eye Foundation is asking all Australians - no matter their age - to get their eyes tested this julEYE. Visit our new website to find out where you can be tested, or donate to support our eye health research and overseas development projects.

You’ll find photos from the evening on our Facebook page.
