December is Gift of Sight Month
At our practice, we believe that clear vision is one of life’s greatest luxuries, a gift that deserves thoughtful care and lifelong protection. This month, we join the global initiative established in 2019 to highlight the profound importance of proactive eye health.
Why Your Annual Eye Examination Matters
Modern eye care goes far beyond checking your prescription. A comprehensive exam allows us to detect early signs of:
• Refractive errors that quietly diminish clarity.
• Cataracts, one of the leading causes of vision impairment worldwide.
• Conditions with no early symptoms, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Early detection is not only protective, it’s preventive. It safeguards the visual quality that shapes how you work, connect, and experience the world.
Did you know:
• Over 2.2 billion people are living with vision impairment.
• At least 1 billion cases could have been prevented or remain unaddressed.
• Vision loss disproportionately affects individuals over 50, yet healthy sight should be nurtured at every age.
So this December, we encourage you to:
Book your annual eye examination, the cornerstone of long-term visual wellness.
Ask your optometrist about the silent nature of many eye diseases.
