Today we celebrate World Sight Day!

Nearly everyone on the planet will experience an eye health issue in their lifetime and more than a billion people worldwide do not have access to eye care services.

To address the bigger picture at the national and global level, we need to be aware of our own eye health, making theme for 2021, .

addresses the importance of annual comprehensive eye exams, performed by your optometrist. A yearly eye exam is recommended for all ages, even if you have generally good vision. Eye exams help you stay current with your prescription and detect any eye diseases or vision problems, including sun-damage, dry eye symptoms, allergies', and digital eye strain caused by the increase in screen time we're all subject to!

Remember, your eye's are windows to your body. You can think of regular visits to the eye doctor as “preventative maintenance”. So please, GO GET DILATED!
