May is Vision Health Month, and the Canadian Association of Optometrists is running an awareness campaign with a call for Canadians to “Get EyeWise” to help encourage optimal eye health and vision care. Vision Health Month is a great time to raise awareness about eye health and ways to prevent vision loss. A regular eye exam by a doctor of optometry is the best way to stay on top of eye health.
