August is National Eye Exam Month: Your pharmacy can help support your vision health
Did you know that approximately 12.2 million Americans require vision correction?
While this number may seem alarming, the good news is that many vision issues can be prevented or treated.
As we age, taking care of our eye health becomes increasingly important. Regular eye exams are essential; they help detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy.
Many eye diseases don’t exhibit symptoms or warning signs, so even if your eyes feel healthy, you could have an underlying issue and not be aware of it.
While optometrists and ophthalmologists are the primary experts for eye exams, you can also receive support at Moose Pharmacy.
Our friendly pharmacists are here to help you manage chronic health conditions that could affect your vision, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
Additionally, we offer valuable information about how certain medications may impact your eyes, including potential issues like dry eyes or light sensitivity.
Moose Pharmacy takes pride in being one of the most accessible healthcare facilities in the community.
Our pharmacists can help identify individuals at risk for eye diseases and encourage everyone to seek professional eye care when necessary.
If you're using eye drops, we'll ensure you know how to use them correctly and consistently. We can also suggest alternatives if any medications might interfere with your vision.
Moose offers a diverse range of reading glasses and eye supplements, including Preservision and Ocuvite. For individuals experiencing acute conditions, we provide eye patches, eye wash kits, eyeglass repair kits, and wipes.
Whether you are managing an acute or chronic issue, Moose Pharmacy is committed to providing the support and resources necessary to help you take simple steps to keep your eyes healthy.
