Why eye exams are the new front line of preventive care
|
|
|
When it comes to healthy living, routine preventive care is crucial. But many Americans are skipping their annual visits to their physician. While 53% of Americans had their vision checked in the last year,1 only 34% of Americans visited a primary care provider.2
|
The rising importance of eye exams
With fewer Americans visiting their primary care provider, the role of optometrists and ophthalmologists is even more significant. As eye exam technology continues to evolve, the impact of routine vision exams on overall health and preventive care will continue to grow.

Reduce expenses
According to a recent Vision Council survey of U.S. adults, 83% of respondents use some form of vision correction.3 Vision benefits not only help these employees save money, but employers save as well. For every dollar invested in vision benefits, it's estimated that employers see an ROI of $7.4

Eye exams detect a range of health conditions
|
|
Beyond vision issues, routine eye exams can also detect early signs of serious health problems. In fact, eye exams enable eye doctors to detect over 270 health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases and even cancers5—often before other symptoms appear.
