John Legg

“Mr Legg, speaking at the start of National Eye Health Week, said that a 62% increase in the elderly population by 2031 meant it was important that provision was made now to cover the cost.”

“"Someone with diabetes has a 10 to 20 times greater chance of being registered blind," Mr Legg said.”

“"However, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent up to 98% of severe sight loss and the earlier the treatment the more likely it is to be effective."”

“"If a new virus was discovered that threatened to cause sight loss in 3,000 adults a year in Scotland it would receive the highest of priorities."”
