May is the month that the National Eye Institute has declared Healthy Vision Month. This year, the National Eye Institute has chosen to focus particularly on eye health and women. Did you know that 66% of people with some degree of visual impairment in the U.S. are women? Many ocular diseases that result in vision impairment are actually preventable! Seeing your optometrist (eye doctor) routinely for eye exams is a must in order to detect these diseases in their early stages. Dr. Savin, Andersen, and Miller not only keep your glasses and contacts up-to-date - they will also check your eyes during your eye exam for any type of eye disease that may rob you of your vision if not managed properly. Call us to get those eyes checked if you haven't been in to see us within the last year!
