Healthy Vision Month To Focus on Eye Exams
Millions of people in the United States have undetected vision problems and eye conditions. We need your help encouraging people in your community to schedule eye exams. Through a comprehensive dilated eye exam, eye care professionals can detect common vision problems and eye diseases, many of which have no early warning signs.Join the National Eye Institute (NEI) this May during Healthy Vision Month to raise awareness about eye health and the importance of dilated eye exams. Healthy Vision Month is an annual observance established by NEI, one of the National Institutes of Health, to keep vision a health priority for the Nation.
NEI has developed a variety of online resources that you can use in May and throughout the year to educate people about maintaining good eye health. These include teaching tools, media resources, e-cards, fact sheets, downloadable posters, and more. Visit the Healthy Vision Month Website at http://www.nei.nih.gov/healthyvisionmonth to find ideas for promoting eye health and to download your free educational resources.
No effort is too small and every activity can make a big difference!
