As the new year approaches, health and wellness are shifting back into focus. Getting a comprehensive eye exam should be on everyone’s agenda, to ensure your vision is well cared for and to detect any diseases that could lead to vision loss or blindness.

Eye exams are important for people who are blind or have low vision as well – without sight, eye scratches and minor infections can easily go unnoticed, yet both can lead to very serious illnesses.

Moreover, many people first learn they have serious health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even cancer from — yes, you guessed it — a routine eye exam.

Put vision in focus for 2020 and make sure to go see an ophthalmologist in the new year!
