This week marks the beginning of Healthy Vision Month, which the Academy celebrates each May in partnership with the National Eye Institute and the National Eye Health Education Program. Healthy Vision Month is an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of eye health and encourage Americans to schedule comprehensive eye exams. Through media outreach, newsletters, social media and online resources, the Academy is reminding the public that eye diseases often show no early symptoms and exams are a crucial part of everyone's health routine. The Academy encourages members to refer friends, family and patients to the EyeSmart® website, where they can find more information about the importance of eye health and preserving their healthy vision.
