DESCRIPTION:

Vision Health Month is Canada's annual awareness campaign that educates Canadians about their vision health and helps eliminate avoidable sight loss nationwide. The most important thing Canadians can do to save sight is to get an annual optometry examination. A staggering one in seven Canadians will be diagnosed with an eye disease in their lifetime, and a comprehensive exam is the best way to prevent damage that cannot be reversed.

"The earlier an eye disease is detected, the greater the chance of preventing or minimizing associated vision loss through treatment," says Dr. Lil Linton, president of the Canadian Association of Optometrists and a spokesperson for Doctors of Optometry Canada. "That's why it's so critical to get your eyes examined regularly. By the time you notice a problem, it could be too late to save your sight."

The CNIB recommends the following schedule for eye exams:

Infants should have their first eye exam between six and nine months of age.

Children should undergo at least one eye examination between the ages of two and five and then yearly once they enter school.

Adults between 19 and 64 should have an eye exam every two years. Seniors should have an eye exam annually.
