19.6 million Brits are suffering from ‘Urban Eye’ and they don’t even know it.
40 per cent of people nationwide are plagued by sore, tired and uncomfortable eyes, so much so that the nation’s leading eye care experts have now uncovered ‘Urban Eye’, to explain the causes and symptoms of this widespread problem.
Those suffering from dry, itchy, red/bloodshot, sore, irritated and/ or tired eyes are all victims of Urban Eye.
And their modern lifestyle may be to blame. Longer working hours mean lack of sleep is responsible for 43 per cent suffering.
One in five (22 per cent) blame more time in front of the computer. Meanwhile, other modern environmental factors such as air conditioning and dust particles are all playing their part, too.
Although eyes are traditionally our greatest assets, with one in four Brits praising them as the most attractive part of the body, 8.3 million say theirs are letting them down once a week. One in six (17 per cent) say they’re even being affected by Urban Eye 2-3 times a week, according to an Optrex study.
Beauty experts are backing the findings. Celebrity eye make up specialist Ariane Poole says: 'I’ve been a make up artist for 25 years and more and more I’m seeing women' especially city women' with eye problems.
