Annual Eye Exam
January is Glaucoma Awareness month, but you should always schedule an eye exam for you and your loved ones at least once a year. Here are just a few reasons why taking the time to get your eyes checked annually is important;
Early detection
A lot can happen in one year. Still, by having an eye exam once a year, you will be giving yourself enough time for your eye doctor to detect any deformities early on in their development. Addressing eye health issues before they progress and become more severe is always a good idea, as treating them early will minimize damage to your eyes and vision.
Protect Your Future Vision
Even if you have perfect vision, having an eye exam once a year will help you save your vision for the future. Many people start losing their vision gradually, without noticing its effects. The longer you go without an eye exam, the harder it will be for your eye doctor to correct the vision loss.
Promote Glaucoma Awareness Month in January
Keep promoting Glaucoma Awareness Month by telling your friends and family. Additionally, you can donate your old eye glasses to local charities that help families who can’t afford their own pair of eye glasses.
