Roman Kemp and Martin Kemp collaborate with Vision Express

Martin and son Roman have collaborated with Vision Express to raise awareness of the importance of getting regular eye tests.

The collaboration comes amid Vision Express launching its Advanced Eye Test, which includes an OCT scan that detects eye conditions.

Martin, 62, revealed that his vision has changed a lot with age.

“My eyesight has changed considerably throughout my life, and I often need a different prescription every time I get my eyes tested. This really goes to show how important it is to keep on top of regular eye test appointments, as well as talking to your children about any hereditary eye conditions they might come to acquire and the signs they need to look out for,” he said.

The One Show star Roman then admitted that he hasn’t always prioritised his eye health.

“I’ve definitely been guilty of not prioritising eye tests in the past and it’s easy to put off appointments when life gets in the way,” the 31-year-old DJ said.

“Since getting my Advanced Eye Test at Vision Express, I feel like I’m much more equipped on how to keep my eyes in check and accountable for not letting my eye health fall to the bottom of the list.”
