In June, we celebrate fathers and Men’s Health Month. Doctors of optometry serve an important role in helping our fathers and father figures stay healthy – even in seemingly unrelated problems such as strokes.

Strokes can happen to anyone, at any age, and it’s important to know the warning signs. Comprehensive eye exams play a major role in preventive care because doctors of optometry can identify more than 270 serious conditions, including stroke — all by looking at your eyes.

June is Cataract Awareness Month. It’s the leading cause of vision loss in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Meanwhile, the National Eye Institute estimates the number of people in the U.S. who experience cataracts is expected to double by 2050. By age 80, most people either have cataracts or have had cataract surgery.

It’s more important than ever to schedule a comprehensive, annual eye exam with a doctor of optometry to detect cataracts and maintain overall eye health.

May is Healthy Vision Month. Did you know that getting a dilated eye exam is the single best thing you can do for your eye health?

Even if your eyes feel healthy, you could have a problem and not know it. Many eye diseases don’t have any symptoms, so a dilated eye exam is the only way to discover diseases early when they’re easier to treat.

Learn more about keeping your eyes healthy, then follow up with a comprehensive annual exam.
