Not all eye exams are created equally.

This National Public Health Week, we’re raising awareness about the difference between online eye tests and in-person comprehensive eye exams.

While apps may seem convenient, they can’t detect serious eye and health conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, or hypertension—and may give a false sense of security.

👁️Your eyes deserve more than a screen.
📄Learn why comprehensive eye exams matter in the resource below.

☀️ Your Eyes Need Sun Protection, Too

We all know not to stare at the sun, but even indirect exposure can harm your eyes.

Without proper protection, short-term UV exposure can cause photokeratitis, while long-term exposure increases the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and more.

Not all sunglasses are created equal.
👓 Look for lenses that block 99–100% of UVA & UVB rays
🌤 Choose lenses that block 75–90% of visible light
🎨 Gray-tinted lenses can offer the best color recognition

And here’s the kicker 47% of consumers don’t check UV protection before buying sunglasses.

Protect your vision year-round and talk to your AOA Doctor of Optometry about the right UV protection for you.
