Save Your Vision Month

Save Your Vision Month is observed every March, helping spread awareness about the importance of eye care. This month serves as a reminder to see the eye doctor and check the eyes' overall health. However, this month also focuses on more than just eye exams and how good nutrition habits can help with overall eye health and wellness. Our optometry staff at Caroline Robison Optometry in Tehachapi, CA, and Ridgecrest, CA, are ready to help you learn more about Save Your Vision Month and how to maintain healthy vision.

Routine Eye Exams

The one thing that Save Your vision month reminds us of is that our eyes are one of the essential organs of the human body. Therefore, it is crucial to schedule annual eye exams with an optometrist to ensure healthy eyes. In addition to helping with prescription lenses and eyeglasses, the optometrist can help provide eye care and nutrition tips for optimal eye health.

Update Prescription Lenses

Every year, seeing an eye doctor helps ensure your prescription lenses are current and provide you with the clearest vision possible. After your optometry appointment, the eye doctor will prescribe new eyeglasses. Your new eyeglasses can help maintain good visual health, which is the goal of Save Your Vision Month.

Common Eye Health Issues

As we age, we develop new health conditions and could create some issues with our vision health. With aging, common vision-related health issues include cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment, presbyopia, dry eye, and glaucoma. Conditions like diabetes and MS can put you at a greater risk for vision loss. If you notice a change in your eyes, don't hesitate to see our eye doctor.
