You wouldn't drive your car after it had been sitting in the garage all
winter without giving it a good going over, so why not give your body a
seasonal tune-up too?
GP Christine Brown has the following tips on how to make sure your
health is sorted for spring and summer.

Eye tests do more than just check your
sight |
Brown says routine eye examinations should be carried out every two
years - whether you have vision problems or not.
"Eye tests do more than just check your sight. Opticians screen for
glaucoma, diabetic changes in the back of the eye. Blood pressure
problems can even show up in the eyes before anywhere else. For people
who never go to the doctors, an eye test can show up all sorts of
things."
