Are you risking eye damage by putting off that eye care visit?
The pandemic is leading some people to put off visits to their eye doctors. Delayed care could allow eye problems——such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, or an eye stroke——to go undetected or unchecked, especially since these conditions may not have symptoms in the early stages. But allowing eye problems to progress can result in eye damage and vision loss. It’s best to keep scheduled eye appointments, especially eye care for existing conditions.
