5 Amazing benefits of Annual Eye Exams!

Introduction

As healthcare professionals, we love educating about your eyes. That’s why it makes sense to take good care of your eyes by getting an annual eye exam before the end of the year. Below are some reasons why you should get your eyes checked before the end of the year!

You can use your benefits

Have you been holding out on getting your annual eye exam because you’re unsure of how it will impact your insurance plan? It’s time to get the ball rolling. As soon as possible, book an appointment for an annual eye exam before the end of the year.

You get a check-up for all the screen time

Your eyes can be affected by some forms of screen time.

  • Screen time can cause eye strain, dry eyes and blurred vision. These conditions are usually temporary and will subside if you give your eyes a break from staring at screens for a while.
  • If you have headaches after using your phone or computer, it’s important to talk to an eye doctor about why this is happening and what steps you can take to prevent these problems in the future.
  • Neck pain is common among people who spend a lot of time looking down at their phones or computers. A good rule of thumb is that if you feel pain when looking down at something for more than 10 minutes, try reading the same thing on paper instead!

You can keep your vision insurance going

It’s important to keep in mind that vision insurance benefits expire at the end of each year. If you haven’t used your benefits before this time, they will be lost. That’s why it’s important to get an eye exam before the end of the year so that you can keep your vision insurance going.

Take advantage of new contacts

Contact lenses can be a good option for many people who are looking for vision correction. They may be more affordable than glasses and can be easier to handle if you want to try contact lenses. If you have trouble wearing glasses, contact lenses might be a better choice.
