MetLife – August is National Eye Exam Month

Aug 8, 2022, 2 Minute Read

Founded in 1989 by Sears Optical, National Eye Exam Month was established as a way to educate the public about eye health and safety.

Comprehensive eye exams are one of the most important aspects of preventative health care, namely because many eye diseases and disorders can be detected in the early stages. Even if your vision is perfect and you are without problems, a comprehensive eye exam may say otherwise. An eye exam does more than just test your vision. It can provide insight regarding your overall health and wellness.

Why National Eye Exam Month is Important

• Good vision improves work performance.
• Eye exams can help reveal other issues such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
• Eye exams can prevent many serious eye diseases that often have no symptoms, but can have severe effects on vision and eye health later on. Early detection is important to prevent serious damage.

Remind your employer groups to celebrate National Eye Exam month by scheduling their eye exams and getting their eyes checked regularly as part of their annual healthcare routine.

How Brokers Can Leverage National Eye Exam Month
