OPTICIANS in Huddersfield are being given support to help them diagnose a neuro-muscular disorder.
They will be handed an interactive CD ROM by the town's branch of the Myasthenia Gravis Association.
Chairman George Parsisson, from Upper Denby, said: "We decided to target opticians first because one of the early stages of the disease affects the eyes with double vision and drooping eyelids.
"It can be the well-trained optician who can be the first to identify MG and set people on the road to treatment."
Cash for the project came from the Huddersfield-based F V and E Brook Charitable Trust.
* Details of the group are from Sue Johnson on 01484 686719.
