Since 1927, vision health professionals have celebrated Save Your Vision during the month of March. The celebration of awareness started as a week-long event from the American Optometric Association, which evolved into a month-long national observance to vision and eye health.
A recent report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine found that 142 million Americans over the age of 40 will experience vision problems. Over 15 million of these vision problems can be avoided, and up to 80% can be corrected with proper screening and early detection. It is essential that you take proper steps to preserve your vision.
So as we begin to celebrate the Save Your Vision month let's take a moment to listen to our eye docs and schedule your comprehensive well-vision exam.
After all, you may detect early signs of conditions or diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, Graves’ disease, autoimmune disorders, cancer and tumors at a well-vision exam. In fact, a comprehensive eye exam is the only way to visualize the blood vessels behind the eye without an x-ray, CT scan or invasive surgery.
