🤔 Did you know that 30% of people with sight loss experience a reduction in employment, and 90% of that sight loss is avoidable with early detection and treatment. 🤯

New research released this [#WorldSightDay](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=worldsightday&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7125870310494482433), conducted by the [International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-agency-for-the-prevention-of-blindness-iapb-/) and Prof Kevin Frick from [Johns Hopkins Medicine](https://www.linkedin.com/company/johns-hopkins-medicine/), shows avoidable sight loss costs the UK £10 billion each year – almost twice the value of the UK film and TV industry. This puts the UK in the top 10 countries with the biggest potential gains from better [#eyehealth](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=eyehealth&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7125870310494482433).

Healthy eyes are crucial to our ability to earn a living. But as technologies transform the way we work, more jobs require the prolonged use of screens, which can lead to [#DigitalEyeStrain](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=digitaleyestrain&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7125870310494482433) and negatively impact eye health without proper precautions. This is especially true in the UK, where the service sector comprises 79% of total economic output and 83% of its workforce.
