Save Your Vision Week

President Barack Obama proclaimed March 6 – March 12, 2011, Save Your Vision Week.  He is inviting eyecare professionals, and all organizations dedicated to preserving eyesight, to join in activities that will raise awareness of vision health.

VSP is always looking for ways to raise awareness of the importance of annual eye exams and the benefits associated with good vision health.  Through your annual eye exam, your VSP network doctor can detect signs of chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, before these diseases have the chance to greatly impact your vision.  Many eye conditions are very treatable when caught early, saving your sight and in some cases, even your life.

What are you going to do to save your vision this week?
