National Eye Health Week & World Alzheimer's Day.

September 21st 2020 is not only World Alzheimer's Day but it's also National Eye Health Week and there is a connection between good eye health and a better quality of life for those with Alzheimer's.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to June Neil, from RNIB, and Barbara Sharp, from Alzheimer's Scotland.

They discussed the collaborative work between the 2 organisations and the resources that are there to help people understand why eye checks, that can be tailored for those with dementia, can actually improve a person's quality of life.
