This February, during American Heart Month, it’s important to remember that your heart heath impacts your overall well-being — including your vision.
According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular conditions like hypertension can lead to eye damage if left unchecked. Did you know an eye exam can help detect early signs of over 270 health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease?
People who are at greater risk of developing heart disease include those who:
- Have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
- Are overweight
- Eat an unhealthy diet
- Smoke or drink alcohol excessively
- Don’t get enough physical activity
Eye care is healthcare. Protect both your heart and eyes by scheduling an eye exam with us today. Healthy heart, healthy eyes.
