Alison Hammond joins Specsavers Home Visits team as its newest recruit to help ensure thousands of people don’t miss out on important eye and hearing care.

Thirty-three of people in the West Midlands, who can’t leave their homes without support, are missing out on essential sight and hearing care, according to new research from Specsavers Home Visits.

As a result, 8% of carers say that the person they care for has had their eyesight negatively impacted and 58% have untreated hearing loss, because they cannot get to a store.

The Specsavers Home Visits service provides personal, expert and convenient eye examinations and hearing checks to those who are eligible. However, only 20% of carers are aware that both are available and 13% are unaware that the person they care for is eligible.
