May is National Healthy Vision Month

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.

Are you thinking about your eyes?

Posted on April 12th, 2010 by Jace D.

Are you keeping healthy vision top of mind? Many Americans are conscientious about scheduling their dental care, visiting their dentist every six months. Others remember to change the oil in their car oil every 5,000 miles. Why should getting an annual eye exam be any different?

Today marks the beginning of a two-year public awareness campaign from the Think About Your Eyes Coalition, designed to help us all remember the importance of an annual eye exam. The Coalition, formed in March by Essilor, Luxottica and VSP Global, launched the first of its television and radio advertisements throughout the country to help raise awareness of how eye exams not only protect your sight, but also deliver preventative health benefits like early detection of chronic diseases such as diabetes.

The advertisements (see the TV ad below) focus on a variety of eye health issues, and urge viewers to visit www.thinkaboutyoureyes.com for more information on healthy vision, as well as a tool to locate a local eyecare professional and schedule their annual eye exam.
