VSP Individual Vision insurance
Buy Vision insurance, get an exam, and the MD can provide insights into your overall health! How?
An Optometrist or Ophthalmologist can review the blood vessels in the eye — like in your heart.
Technology [like in the picture] is used during a VSP Well Vision Exam. It allows the MD to detect:
● High blood pressure (affects 50% of adults). Healthy vessels are red and don't have twists and turns. Problem vessels have s silver colorl
● Diabetes and high cholesterol!
● Eye disease such as — glaucoma — a serious problem!
Note: More than 50% didn't know they had glaucoma because symptoms are so subtle!
● If there are cataracts or macular degeneration — a leading cause of vision loss and blindness.
● If there are symptoms of digital eye strain.
BTW: More than two-thirds of Americans have this.
Bottom line — receiving insights from an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist on any serious health issues before you notice any symptoms is a — big value! !
Key point:
- > Not getting a check up because "your eyes are fine" means you may face high medical treatment expenses!
Your vision is so so important — Thus, buying a VSP Individual Vision plan is highly recommended!
The statement — "the most important health care event you can do is a regular eye examination."
was recently made by a chief medical officer!
