In observance of Healthy Vision Month, VSP Vision Care wants to remind you to make eye health a priority by scheduling an eye exam with your VSP eye doctor. Eye exams not only check vision, they can also detect signs of related health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, just to name a few.
The National Eye Institute (NEI) proclaimed May as Healthy Vision Month in 2003 to elevate vision as a health priority for the nation. This year’s theme is “Your Eyes Are The Windows To Your Health.” There are millions of people living in the U.S. with undetected vision problems, eye diseases and related health conditions that can be detected and/or resolved with a visit to an eye doctor. We hope you join us in preserving the sense of sight and maintaining high quality eye health for all Americans.
As many of you know, VSP Global is part of the Think About Your Eyes Coalition, with Essilor and Luxottica, and are helping remind Americans about the important of receiving an annual eye exam. Be sure to keep an eye out in New York City next week, as the Coalition will be putting on an ”eye-catching” event on Tuesday, May 25th. You can find the latest news on this upcoming event and the Coalition’s activities on their social media channels on Facebook and Twitter.
