Your eyes never really clock out. During waking hours, your eye muscles make more than 100,000 movements each day, constantly helping you focus, track, and take in the world around you. Even during REM sleep, your eyes continue to move as part of the dreaming phase of sleep.

An eye exam is an opportunity to check in on the system that works for you every day. It takes less than an hour, but your eyes have given you a lifetime of memories, moments, and experiences. Give them the professional care they deserve!

Your eyes are constantly working to keep the world around you in focus. The natural focusing system of the eye can quickly adjust as you shift your attention from something nearby to something farther away. It’s an incredible reminder of just how much your eyes do every day. Regular eye exams help make sure this complex system is working as it should.

An eye exam can reveal much more than how well you see. Optometrists can spot signs of certain health conditions by examining the eyes, including diabetes, thyroid disease, and other systemic conditions.

More than a billion people worldwide live with vision loss, yet much of it can be prevented or treated with the right care. Conditions like cataracts, refractive errors, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy can often be treated, corrected, or managed when detected early. Regular comprehensive eye exams play an important role in protecting your vision and catching potential problems before they progress.

This October, we honor those living with vision impairment and encourage everyone to make their eye health a priority. Schedule your annual eye exam and take an important step toward protecting your sight.

The answer is A: every 20 minutes. The 20-20-20 rule is a simple way to give your eyes a break during extended screen time: every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Small screen-time habits can make a big difference in keeping your eyes feeling comfortable throughout the day.
