You are lucky to wear glasses
Did you know that according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide. In their study, the WHO looked for some of the communalities shared by those millions of people and found that the leading cause of visual impairments globally was uncorrected refractive errors.
What does this mean? This means people not being taking the necessary preventative steps to be treated for their visual impairments. This means people that need some sort of corrective vision like prescription glasses, contacts, or even refractive surgery choose to not do anything about it instead. Yes, many of these people who suffer from a visual impairment may not have the resources available to obtain the care that they need, but I ask, what is your excuse?
- Are you simply used to seeing poorly?
- Since it’s not broken, why fix it?
At Devlyn Optical, we believe that this statistic makes absolutely no sense since 80% of all visual impairments can be prevented or cured with proper preventative care. This means a yearly comprehensive eye examination with dilatation.
I urge you to take control of your vision health and take the first step by scheduling your eye exam today. Remember that and eye examination is for so much more than just glasses. Through a comprehensive eye exam, the optometrist will not only check the health of your eyes, most importantly the optometrist will perform a thorough evaluation of your visual health looking for indications of eye conditions and diseases like cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, which can be easily detected with a comprehensive eye exam.
So stop by Devlyn Optical Store today where one of our highly qualified opticians is eager to help you find the perfect pair of glasses for your prescription and style.
We hope to see you soon!
