August marks many seasonal changes in the U.S. It’s the unofficial end of summer break as teachers and families with school-aged children across the nation turn their attention to preparing for the coming school year. August is also recognized as National Eye Exam Month, a time dedicated to encouraging Americans to prioritize their eye health by scheduling an annual comprehensive eye exam.
At Collins Vision, we love to talk to our patients about the importance of taking care of your eyes in every season of life. And we talk about it every month of the year! But August gives us a platform to share in more detail why eye health is so important, not only for your vision, but for the health of your entire body.
