ESCOT: Members of Escot's Women's Institute received an eye opener on maintaining healthy sight after a talk from a Sidmouth optometrist last Thursday.

Frederick McShaw spoke to members on the subject of "The Ageing Eye".

WI secretary Liz Potbury said: "The members found his talk both illuminating and entertaining. He emphasised the importance of regular eye tests for the elderly, and discussed many common eye problems faced by the not so young. We were well informed on what to expect from a good optician.
