Nikoloas Koutris, 37, was diagnosed with ocular hypertension which could lead to permanent damage to the optic nerve which could lead to visual impairment.
An Edinburgh man has revealed how a £10 eye check-up led to the discovery of a serious eye condition despite having no symptoms.
"Last January, I went for my routine optician appointment, and I decided to pay an extra £10 to have my eye pressure checked," he said."Normal eye pressure is around 10 mm Hg, but mine was over 40. I was immediately referred to the eye pavilion for further consultation." "I had no symptoms, and a regular eye test didn’t detect anything, so without the eye pressure test, I would never have known."
"It should be free because it’s so crucial for people to get checked. If this run encourages even a few more people to get tested, that’s a success."
