Have you given your eyes their 2025 check-in yet? 👀

Between holiday plans, gift lists, and wrapping up the year… don’t forget the one thing that sees you through it all — your vision! An annual eye exam does more than update your prescription — it can catch early signs of eye disease, diabetes, and other health issues long before you feel symptoms.

If you haven’t had yours annual exam yet, this is your reminder: Vision benefits often reset January 1st, and appointments fill quickly around the holidays.

Start the new year seeing your best.

Book your ILUMINating exam today — your 2026 self will thank you. Online at ilumineyes.com

November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month – a great reminder to protect your vision!

Here’s what every patient should know:
• Diabetes increases the risk of vision loss.
• Diabetic eye disease often has no early symptoms, which means damage can happen silently.
• Yearly eye exams are *essential* to catching issues early and preserving your sight.

If you have diabetes, staying on top of your eye health is one of the most powerful things you can do. Your vision is worth it. 💙
