According to recent figures, Ireland is among the countries with the highest internet use in the world, amounting to over six hours every day per person.

If you couple that with the fact that the rate of shortsightedness is estimated to rise by 50% by 2050, our eye health has never been more important.

With this in mind, Bobby wanted to speak to some people in the business of eye care to get a sense of things.

Joining Bobby is:

Liz Grennan, Clinical optometrist with Optilase and Member the Council of Optometry Ireland

Stephen Olwell, Optometrist and Director of Stephen Olwell Opticians in Longford

Mike Wyley, MD of Dixon Hempenstall on Suffolk Street here in Dublin
