Have you had your eyes checked lately?

Eye exams are important, particularly if you have conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. You should have your eyes checked at least yearly, or every 2 years if you are in good health. Some vision loss is slow, and often overlooked until it becomes very serious. What kinds of conditions are important to look for?

While you’re thinking about your vision, don’t forget that children need their eyes checked, too. After all, if they can’t see well, they won’t do well in school. HUSKY A, C & D cover eye exams and glasses, while HUSKY B requires a co-pay.
