Eyecare specialist The Body Doctor in Clayton West is again inviting members of the public for a free eye health screening check.

Everyone who has the check will receive expert advice and a recommended personal plan to help support their eye health and quality of life.

During the screening day on Thursday April 16, the advanced LifeMeter technology will accurately and painlessly measure the concentration of carotenoid nutrients from a visitor’s fingertip in less than a minute, with no skin pricks.

The presence of these nutrients in the skin is a key indicator of someone’s wellbeing.

People with a low carotenoid level have been shown to have a higher frequency of eye strain and fatigue, trouble driving at night, poor contrast sensitivity and slower visual and cognitive processing, plus an increased chance of sunburn and brain fog.

Studies have also shown that carotenoid concentrations are lower in people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.

The Body Doctor can recommend supplements for those who might need them.

The Body Doctor’s sales and marketing director, Sam Wymer, said: “Following the success of previous events, we are so proud to bring the LifeMeter screening day back to our local community.

“We hope the public will join us for an exclusive day’s clinic to understand their carotenoid level and enhance their life.”

The 10-minute appointments are for up to two people per session and will take place from 9am-4.30 pm at The Body Doctor Ltd, Unit 1, Bridge Industrial Estate, Off Park Mill Way, Clayton West, Huddersfield, HD8 9XJ.
