AUGUST IS NATIONAL EYE EXAM MONTH
August is National Eye Exam Month! Ophthalmologists recommend periodic eye exams every 2-4 months from the ages of 40-65 and every 1-2 years after the age of 65.
While most symptoms are often disregarded, getting a simple check-up and following a doctor’s order can greatly lower risks of more severe and future damage so that you can continue to have healthy vision.
Spring Creek Senior Partners will has partnered up with Health Care Choices, NY, INC; One Brooklyn Health, New York City Health & Hospital Cooperation and MetroPlus Health for free or low-cost eye exams for older adults 60 years old and over.
