Approximately 37 million adults in America have age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma. All of these vision issues can cause visual impairment or blindness.1 However, recent studies show that making healthy choices and getting regular eye exams can help reduce a person’s risk of vision loss.
Healthy Vision Month serves as a reminder to check in with your patients regarding the importance of proactive eye care and eye health. One of the most effective ways to observe Healthy Vision Month is to educate your patients about the importance of regular eye exams and preventive eye care measures. You can utilize educational resources created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help you get started. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to inspire positive change in the community and encourage individuals to prioritize their eye health.
