You're out with your non-optometrist friends on a Friday evening. One asks, "Can you take a look at my eye?" What would you do? Where does professionalism begin and end, asks @ButlerLorcan of @BrainTumourOrg

Although brain tumours are rare, if you or a loved one experience two or more signs and symptoms it’s important that you speak to your doctor to rule out a brain tumour. Faster diagnosis leads to quicker treatments, so you’re always #BetterSafeThanTumour bit.ly/3sYlb9D

It is so important that people with symptoms are seen as quickly as possible, so that they can either have a brain tumour ruled out or begin treatment and get the support they need. Any delays could be worrying, at an already difficult time. (2/3)

A big Thank you to the DIAGNOSTIC and THERAPEUTIC Radiographers for the never ending fantastic work they do for our community. They are an integral part of the MDT helping in both diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours. Thank you once again.

This CPD article was inspired by @shitscaredmum and @BrainTumourOrg . Hoping that those who read @OptometryToday will be better able to spot signs and symptoms of brain tumours

It's estimated that by 2050 more than half of us will be short-sighted. Spending time outdoors – aim for 2hrs or more a day – has been shown to reduce the risk of myopia (short-sightedness) in children. #EyeWeek #VisionMatters #OutdoorPlayHelpsKeepsMyopiaAway

"There really does need to be more awareness of the signs and symptoms of brain tumours – I never would have thought that a problem with my eye sight could be because of a brain tumour."
