We take our vision for granted, but imagine not seeing rainbows, a loved one's face or not being able to read the chalkboard in a classroom.

We shouldn’t take our vision for granted.

An estimated 2.2 billion people have vision impairment or blindness, according to the World Health Organization.
Even worse? More than 1 billion of those cases — which include conditions like myopia, hyperopia, cataract and glaucoma — either could have been prevented or have not yet been treated.

World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness held on the second Thursday of October, to focus worldwide attention on vision impairment and blindness.

A new school year is already here! It’s important to have your child’s eyes checked before they start Pre-K, then it’s recommended they have an exam performed every 1-2 years going forward. Set aside time this month for their eye exam. Their success in the classroom depends on it!
