​Eye exams are a vital way to maintain good vision and overall health. A vision test is not the same thing as a comprehensive eye exam. A comprehensive eye exam is needed to monitor the overall health of your eyes and detect any problems. Certain eye diseases, such as glaucoma, do not usually cause symptoms early. But the disease can be diagnosed through certain tests.

The summer is a great time to get outdoors, soak up some sunshine, and enjoy swimming, barbecues, and family get-togethers. With school out for the season, vacations, and longer days, summer sometimes feels carefree. But it’s not a time to slack on eye safety. It’s vital to continue to make good choices to protect your vision and keep your eyes healthy. 

​Staying fit is important at any age. Getting to and maintaining a healthy weight and being in good shape increases energy, helps fight disease, and is good for your vision. It’s especially vital for seniors to maintain their fitness, since your risk of many diseases and eye conditions increases with age. May 29 is Senior Health Fitness Day, and it’s a good reminder for people of all ages to make fitness a priority.
