This Month

March is “Save Your Vision” month. We are taking this moment to remind you of the importance of regular eye exams, which are part of taking care of your overall health. Heritage plans cover exams and provide allowances for vision correction. Several plans offer discounts on other products and services purchased from Heritage providers.

Do You Need a Pupil Dilation Eye Exam?

Pupil dilation lets your provider get a good look at certain structures inside your eye. Your provider needs to check your retina periodically, and it will get more important as you age.

Do You Need Vision Insurance Without an Employer?

If you’re self-employed, freelancing, or between jobs, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of trying to find affordable vision insurance. Heritage offers a better solution.

Saving Your Vision Starts at the Exam

What Your Eye Doctor Can See That You Can't

Many serious eye conditions develop gradually and without early warning signs. By the time you notice a change in your vision, the damage may already be significant. That's what makes a comprehensive eye exam so valuable.

 

During a dilated eye exam, your eye care provider can detect the early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy, often years before you experience any symptoms. Your eyes can also reveal clues about your overall health, including high blood pressure and diabetes.

 

This March, take some time to “save your vision.” If it's been a while since your last eye exam, consider this your reminder to schedule one. It's one of the simplest things you can do to protect the vision you rely on every day.
