Do you live in the Lothian area and are aged 50 years or over? Take part in a paid research study on eye health.
The University of Edinburgh are recruiting for participants for a study on eye health and local services.
This research involves completing a short online questionnaire and a series of informal focus group discussions. These friendly conversations will talk about about how people access eye care, what they know about available services, and their general thoughts on looking after their eye health. No expert knowledge is required.
As a thank you for your time you will receive a £50 voucher for each session you attend.
If you would like to take part, please complete this form.
