A WellVision Exam® from a VSP® provider helps detect the signs of health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol—along with other eye and health issues.
Children
More than one in four school-age children have some form of a vision problem.3 Studies show that 60% of students identified as problem learners have undetected vision troubles.4 Schedule their eye exam once a year. TIP: Schedule one at the beginning of the school year to give your child a healthy start.
Seniors
As we age, we’re more susceptible to cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness among Americans age 65 and older.7 Glaucoma affects more than 3 million Americans, but only half are aware they have the disease because the symptoms are so subtle.
Diabetics
Diabetes is one of the top three causes of blindness in the United States.9 And, most diabetes-related blindness can be prevented by an annual eye exam.
