It’s Talk About Prescriptions Month! Did you know the medications you take for conditions like blood pressure, diabetes, allergies, or even mood can affect your eyes and vision? 👁️
Some medications may cause:
✔️ Dry eyes
✔️ Blurry or double vision
✔️ Light sensitivity
✔️ Changes in eye pressure

That’s why it’s so important to share your full medication list with your eye doctor. Even prescriptions that aren’t “for your eyes” can impact your vision and overall eye health.

Bring your medication list to your next appointment, and let’s make sure your eyes are protected. Your vision deserves it!

October is World Blindness Awareness Month — a reminder that protecting your vision starts with awareness and regular eye care. Did you know:
