Additional Eye Health Resources

— -- More than 3.4 million Americans suffer from visual impairment, according to the National Eye Institute, and it is estimated that three quarters of vision loss is either preventable or treatable.

While it is important to get an annual eye exam to assess your eye health, it is also important to engage in good eye health practices to prevent disease and to know the warning signs of more serious eye related conditions so you can seek proper treatment.
