National Eye Exam Month: Prioritize Eye Health This August

Celebrating National Eye Exam Month

August is National Eye Exam Month, making it the perfect time to focus on your eye health. Eye exams do more than just update prescriptions; they are a crucial step in catching early signs of serious health conditions. With the back-to-school season and summer vacations behind us, August provides an ideal window for scheduling this important health check.

Eye Exams: More Than Just Vision Checks

• Detect diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain cancers through a comprehensive eye exam.
• Catch early warning signs that might affect your overall well-being.

Vision Insurance: Making Eye Care Accessible

Vision insurance can make these vital exams both accessible and affordable.

• Plans typically cover essentials like annual exams, glasses, and contacts.
• Upgrades such as anti-glare or progressive lenses add significant value.

Understanding Your Vision Insurance

When considering a vision insurance plan, be aware of the full cost, including premiums, copays, eyewear allowances, and potential out-of-pocket expenses. A larger provider network often means greater access and convenience.

What Vision Insurance Typically Doesn't Cover

It's important to know that most vision insurance won’t cover medical eye problems like infections or cataracts. Some plans, however, offer discounts on elective procedures like LASIK.
