Save your sight: simple tips for eye health
Do you often find yourself straining your eyes after looking at your computer screen for too long? Or do your eyes begin to react after you’ve had your contact lenses in all day? We rely on our sight so much, but we can often take for granted how precious our eyes really are.
Andy Wilkins, Plutus Health’s CEO, explains the importance of looking after your eyes. By changing small day-to-day habits, with a real effort to receive regular eye check-ups, you could help keep your eyes healthy for longer.
Get your check-ups booked in
Regular eye check-ups can substantially benefit the condition of your eyes. Experts recommend that every person should have a comprehensive dilated eye examination before the age of 40, and continue to have a yearly check-up from then on. Many eye related diseases such as glaucoma and diabetic eye disease can only be detected by comprehensive dilated eye examinations, proving how important these regular check-ups are.
Eye examinations are not only important to determine your eye health, but can also give an indication into any other possible health issues you may be having. Plutus Health offers a Personal Health Plan Service for our clients that allows you to claim the costs of an eye test, glasses and contact lenses.

Take the stairs
It’s simple. If your office is spread across multiple floors, say no to the lift and opt for the stairs instead. It’s a really good way of getting those steps in (literally) and will actually work your body a whole lot harder than a simple walk.
E-mail no more
Need to speak to a colleague but they’re sat over the other side of the office? Discard that email you might have started writing them and walk over to speak to them face to face. Not only is it more personal, but you’ll be able to stretch your legs on the way.

“Spotlight on”
Sun Health
With many families jetting off on their summer holidays soon, not to mention some of the hot weather we’ve been experiencing in the UK, we’d strongly recommend taking proper precautions at this time of year when it comes to your skin in the sunlight and heat. If you’re purchasing sun cream soon, make sure it has an SPF of over 15 and at least a four-star UV rating, which will ensure proper protection. For additional advice, click here.
“Featured Service”
Osteopathy
With a Plutus health plan, you can claim towards the cost of osteopathy treatment by a qualified practitioner. The treatment is regarded as an effective solution for people suffering muscle tension and joint aches.

“Wimbledon”
With Wimbledon just around the corner, we’re getting inspired to get on the courts and play. While many spectators will be enjoying the tennis matches with a pimms in hand and a bowl of strawberries and cream, those who pick up a racket for a rally will be reaping the benefits of a high-impact, energetic exercise. Not only good for increasing strength across the body, tennis is renowned for improving agility. Go on, give it a go!
