May is Healthy Vision Month By Macy Eye Center on May 18, 2023

May is Healthy Vision Month

Taking care of your eyes can be a priority just like eating healthy and physical activity. Healthy vision can help keep you safe each day. To keep your eyes healthy, get a comprehensive dilated eye exam: an eye care professional will use drops to widen the pupils to check for common vision problems and eye diseases. It’s the best way to find out if you need glasses or contacts, or are in the early stages of any eye-related diseases.

Vision Health for All Ages

You can have a dilated eye exam regularly to check for common eye problems. If you haven’t had an exam for some time, schedule one this month.
CDC’s Vision Health Initiative partners with the National Eye Institute to encourage all Americans to make vision a health priority this Healthy Vision Month.
Some eye conditions can cause vision loss and even blindness.

These include:
cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.

Other eye conditions, such as refractive errors, which happen when the shape of your eye doesn’t bend light correctly, are common problems easily corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or laser surgery. An estimated 11 million Americans aged 12 years and older could see better if they used corrective lenses, or eye surgery, if appropriate.
