Celebrate National Eye Exam Month by Putting Your Eye Health First

August is National Eye Exam Month—an ideal reminder to schedule that eye checkup you’ve been putting off. But did you know eye exams can reveal more than just a change in your prescription?

 

🩺 Early Detection Saves Lives
Routine eye exams can uncover serious health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain cancers before symptoms arise. Your eyes really are a window to your overall health.

 

👓 More Than Just Glasses
Vision insurance plans often cover the basics— annual exams, glasses, or contact lenses —but many go a step further with perks like anti-glare coatings or progressive lenses, giving you more value and comfort.

 

🏥 Choose a Strong Network
When comparing vision plans, look at the provider network. A broader network gives you more choices and convenience, especially if you want access to top-rated local optometrists or retail chains.

 

💰 Understand the Costs
Don’t just look at the premium—consider copays, eyewear allowances, and what’s not included. Medical issues like infections or cataracts generally fall under health insurance, not vision. But some plans offer discounts on LASIK or other elective treatments.

 

Review Your Coverage Today
There’s no better time than now to evaluate your current vision plan—or get one if you’re not covered. Your eyes deserve top-notch care, and it doesn’t have to break the bank.
