This October, we are recognizing Blindness Awareness Month by focusing on prevention. According to data from the World Health Organization, about 80% of visual impairment and blindness can be prevented or treated if addressed early enough.

From managing diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma to treating cataracts and correcting basic refractive errors, proper screenings make a massive difference. Routine checkups do much more than update a prescription, they safeguard your overall health.

If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), this is your reminder that the clock is ticking. Unlike Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), which roll over year after year, most FSA funds operate on a strict "use-it-or-lose-it" policy. Any money left in your account at the end of the year could be forfeited.

If you are looking for practical ways to utilize your remaining balance before the deadline, prescription eyewear, prescription sunglasses, and even contact lenses are fully FSA-eligible. It is an excellent time to book an annual eye exam or update your current prescription. Check your account balance this week so you don't leave your hard-earned money on the table!

Between work, school, scrolling, and streaming, screen time can add up quickly. If you’re experiencing tired eyes, dryness, headaches, or blurry vision, digital eye strain could be contributing.

Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Adjusting screen brightness, blinking frequently, and taking regular breaks can also help.

If eye discomfort continues, schedule a comprehensive eye exam so we can take a closer look.

As we observe Eye Injury Prevention Month this October, it is a great time to evaluate our daily safety habits. Whether you are tackling a weekend home improvement project, using strong cleaning chemicals, or playing high-impact sports, eye protection should never be an afterthought.

An estimated 90% of eye injuries are entirely preventable simply by wearing proper protective eyewear. Standard prescription glasses and fashion sunglasses do not provide adequate impact resistance, so keeping a certified pair of safety goggles in your workspace is a simple but vital habit. Protecting your vision takes only a few seconds, but it ensures your long-term health and safety.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

November and December can get especially busy with year-end appointments, so we recommend scheduling before the rush.

October is a great time to schedule your eye exam. It’s a quieter transition period before holiday schedules and busy calendars start taking over.

If you have HSA or FSA funds available, this is also a good time to think ahead. Depending on your plan, you may use eligible funds for eye exams, glasses, prescription sunglasses, or contact lenses.

If you know you’re due for an exam, now is a good time to get it on the calendar before the year-end rush.
