May is a Healthy Vision Month!
Do you know close to 4 Million people (above 40 years of age) in United States were reported to be suffering from Vision Disorder in 2010? This number is expected to touch 13 million in 2050.
Healthy Vision Month is a joint initiative of Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) - Vision Health Initiative and National Eye Institute to create awareness about eye health and making it a priority among Americans.
Millions of persons in the United States have undiagnosed vision problems and eye conditions. Vision impairment is associated with the inability to perform daily activities, such as reading, driving a car, and preparing meals. Moreover, vision impairment is associated with an increased risk for falls, fall-related injuries, social isolation, and poorer overall health.
National Eye Institute recommends that during the Healthy Vision Month, individuals should undertake a comprehensive dilated eye examination by an eye-care professional. This will help detecting certain eye diseases and conditions at early stages and avoid any kind of vision loss.
