Australians need to prioritise their health and get back into regular routines after research found many were putting off their appointments.
New findings by Specsavers shows that women are the biggest culprits, with 81 per cent subsequently cancelling or postponing their appointments in the past year, while 21 per cent have never booked an appointment after receiving a reminder.
Conflicting priorities such as family and work needs or being time-poor is to blame.
"I see lots of women who bring their children in for an eye test but put off their own check-up," Specsavers optometrist Karen Walsh says.
