Keith has just returned from his eleventh trip to Dubai. Working in Jumeirah Primary School, keith spent the week carrying out assessments of children with learning difficulties - who flew in from several countries around the Gulf area, as well as from the Emirate itself.
This has become a regular event for Keith, and has allowed children in the area to gain access to the latest in eye care methods.

A recent independent report has revealed how the fear of cost is deterring people from making sight test appointments.
Despite children confessing to suffer from regular headaches and sore or irritated eyes, parents are waiting to afford a pair of spectacles before booking an eye examination.
However, help is available - children under 16 qualify for free sight tests and spectacles are available at a reduced cost.
The Christmas holidays are the perfect time to have an eye test and as times change, so do spectacles. No longer ‘un-cool’, spectacles are now designed to suit and compliment the wearer and this change has been mirrored in the current Children’s collection of frames. Contact lenses are also available to children as young as 5 years old.
Keith Holland & Associates are able to look beyond the standard eye examination to the vision as a whole. Many children who are diagnosed as dyslexic or who are underachieving at school, can show simple vision problems that are not picked up in standard eye examinations.
Assessment and treatment is possible at any age and is not confined to children, however, the sooner the problems are spotted and tackled – the less misery for the individual and the better their quality of life.
To give the gift of clear sight this Christmas, please call: 01242 233 500 or 01242 269 686.
