National Eye Exam Month takes place every August, serving as a reminder to prioritize eye health by scheduling a comprehensive eye examination. Don’t blink and miss it!

This annual observance is a great opportunity to:

~Raise awareness about the importance of routine eye exams
~Encourage patients to schedule comprehensive eye checkups
~Educate the public on how vision health affects overall wellness

Everyone must prioritize proper eye care, which includes regular eye exams, regardless of noticeable signs of issues. Children should undergo eye testing at birth, at 6 months of age, before starting school, and periodically during their school years. For adults, the frequency of eye exams should be determined by your doctor’s recommendations, typically every two years or more frequently if advised. Individuals with diabetes or eye diseases should have a comprehensive eye exam annually.
