While most of us value our vision more than any other sense, most of us fail to have our eyes checked regularly. According to the National Eye Institute (NEI), not having your eyes checked on a regular basis is a big mistake. As with most degenerative diseases, “stopping glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration in their early stages” is essential in the fight for complete recovery.
If you are like most Americans, you visit the dentist at least once every six months. If you are health conscious, you visit the doctor for a routine physical at least once a year.
But, how often do you go to the eye doctor if you don’t need a pair of glasses or have an issue with your sight?
According to the NEI, you should visit the eye doctor as often as you visit your physician: “Regular comprehensive eye exams can help you protect your sight and make sure that you are seeing your best.”
How much do vision exams cost?
Eye doctor fees can vary by location, but on average, an eye exam costs around $100.
While an eye appointment is not particularly expensive for an individual, when you have a family of three, four, or five, the costs can start adding up. And, depending on where you are in your life, $100 can be a pretty expensive cost as well.
DentalSave for Vision can cut that cost from between 20% and $40%.
