Interesting facts I just came by..


  • Nearly 20% of adults have never been to an eye doctor.
  • 82% of consumers know UV can cause skin cancer; only 9% know it can harm the eyes.
  • About 75% of all new cases of Type I Diabetes occur in patients under the age of 18; eye exams can find this.
  • 1 in 4 school-age children has an undiagnosed vision problem

Now you know....don't let your eyes go unchecked.
