Did you know that August is National Eye Exam Month?
As a construction, engineering, or architectural professional crystal clear vision is an important aspect of your professional success. You use your eyes to ensure exact measurements while performing site surveys, while operating heavy machinery, and even during simple tasks like reading emails and corresponding with fellow businesses.
If you’ve noticed a decline in your vision over the last few weeks or months, now is the right time to get your eyes checked out. You aren’t alone. In fact, a 2006 study by the National Institute of Health found that some 14-million Americans are visually impaired and over the last decade that number has continued to grow.
In 2017 there are dozens of treatment options available for most eye problems. Meeting with an ophthalmologist will give you the insight and information you need to make wise decisions. Whether you end up getting glasses, contacts, LASIK surgery or something else entirely, taking steps to improve your vision comes with plenty of rewards.
Being able to see clearly will make life easier, cut down on symptoms like headaches and dry eyes, and may even help to boost your productivity. National Eye Exam Month is the right time to take action. Will you?
