January is Eye Health Care Awareness month.
Dr. Kevin Jones with Family Eye Care Center in Pella recommends having an annual eye exam to check on both vision and overall optic health. Jones says everyone should get evaluated, regardless of the quality of their vision. He says many eye-related diseases, such as glaucoma, can’t be detected by failing eyesight. Jones says by checking annually, they are able to see year-to-year differences and can catch any red flags sooner. We have more with Dr. Jones on Let’s Talk Pella.
