Vision Care
Some of us have dealt with vision correction needs all our lives, so the cost of routine eye exams and new glasses is a regular part of our budget. By the time we reach 65 one in every three of us will be dealing with vision issues that are associated specifically with older eyes.
Some of us will begin to notice problems with our central vision area related to age-related macular degeneration. Some people will lose peripheral vision. And if that were not enough, there is general loss of contrast due to glaucoma, blurry loss due to cataracts and even light sensitivity, low vision at night and clouding.
Ensuring that you keep getting that annual eye check up, catch any problems and get them treated as soon as possible as well as to buy new glasses as your needs change are important reasons to have Vision Insurance.
Vision Facts
Healthy Eyes Keep Seniors Independent
Most of us noticed that we were holding reading materials farther and farther away when we were in our 40s. At some point a lot of us headed to the eye doctor for cheaters and over the years, the strength of those reading glasses has gotten stronger.
While this aging process, called Presbyopia, is normal, it is still wise to have an annual eye exam to make certain that there are not other things that are making your vision change.
Diabetes can also cause eye issues with a disease called Diabetic Retinopathy. More than 10 million Americans have Diabetes and about 40% have some Retinopathy which can cause permanent vision loss.
Cataracts form throughout a lifetime, but become troublesome as you age. About half the 65 year olds have cataracts. The fix is surgical. and the great news is that 100% of vision loss due to cataracts can be restored.
Colors dim. As we age, colors may begin to appear washed out or less vivid. The first color that seems to dim is the color blue.
Why Vision Insurance?
About 60% of all Americans wear contacts or glasses, and that number is expected to grow! Vision changes with age, lack of exercise, exposure to blue lights from our phones, TVs and computer screens as well as weight gains and losses.
Protecting eyes through routine annual screenings and assuring that those who do need corrective or protective eyewear have resources to purchase those items is important to business owners, individuals and seniors.
Vision Insurance offers eye care and eyewear coverage, generally with a stated amount that applies to an annual exam and a state amount that can help offset the cost of contact lenses or other eyewear. Some policies also provide for surgical benefits associated with eye illness or injuries.
Professional Benefit Solutions will help you find a policy to cover your needs.
