Buy VSP Individual Vision insurance
You can gain insights into your overall health by buying Vision Insurance and — getting an exam!
How? MDs can evaluate the blood vessels in your eye, which are the same as in your heart and brain !
The VSP MD, conducting a VSP Well Vision Exam, uses technology [like in the picture] to allow her to detect:
● high blood pressure, 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 these conditions.
Bottom line — insights from an optometrist or ophthalmologist on whether there are serious health issues before you notice any symptoms is a — big value! !
Two other points:
- > A chief medical officer recently indicated — "the most important health care event you can do is a regular eye examination".
- > Not getting a check up because "your eyes are fine" means you may face high medical treatment expenses!
