Celebrate Gift of Sight Month!

Gift of Sight Month, established by Versant Health, is a month-long holiday dedicated to helping Americans enjoy the wonders of sight through healthy eyes and vision. For many Americans, that often means having access to care.

Routine vision care exams are a necessary and effective form of preventative medicine for all age groups. Whether a child or senior, eye exams are critical for vision and eye health and offer a minimally intrusive method of identifying a myriad of other health conditions.

Vision care exams allow eye care professionals to take a non-invasive look inside the body. This then provides an opportunity to detect up to 30 chronic medical conditions, from diabetes and heart disease to hypertension and even cognitive dysfunction – even before symptoms occur.

Gift of Sight Month encourages people to commit to preserving healthy eyes and vision for themselves, their loved ones, and their community. As part of this commitment, Versant Health is sharing educational information on protecting your eyes and vision. Below are some helpful resources to provide you with the information you need to know about the importance of routine eye exams and how to take charge of your eye health.
