With National Eye Health Week upon us, we wanted to share three tips to promote eye health:

🥬 Eat Healthily - Certain foods can promote eye health. For example, you can protect against eye diseases by incorporating non-meat protein sources such as eggs and nuts; green/leafy vegetables; tuna, salmon, and other fatty fish; and oranges and other citrus fruits into your diet.

🕶️ Wear Sunglasses (Even on Cloudy Days) - Opt for sunglasses that block out 99% to 100% of ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.

🧬 Know Your Family History - A number of eye conditions have a genetic component, including glaucoma and macular degeneration. If you have older family members, talk with them about any eye conditions they or other members of your family have had.

And as always, if you have questions about current coverage or need assistance with your health and benefits, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help.

In conversations about self-care and family health, we often emphasize the usual: nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being. But let's not forget an equally critical, but often-overlooked aspect: routine eye exams.

Regular eye checkups go beyond just adjusting our vision with the correct lenses. They serve as a crucial gateway to detecting more significant health issues:

☑️ Hypertension: Changes in the eye's blood vessels can reveal high blood pressure.
☑️ High Cholesterol: A yellowish patch on the upper and/or inner parts of your eyelid might indicate high cholesterol levels.
☑️ Autoimmune Disorders: Inflammation in the eye can signal autoimmune diseases, including lupus.
☑️ Thyroid Disease: An unusual bulge in the eyeballs could be a telltale sign of thyroid issues.
☑️ Cancer: Abnormalities in eye structure can point toward ocular melanoma, and a close look at the eyelids can reveal basal cell carcinoma.

If it's been some time since your last eye exam, let's change that. Finding an optometrist nearby and scheduling an appointment is simpler than you might think.

As always, reach out with any coverage questions or needs. We’re here to help you prioritize your health!

Embracing the simple joys in life, we find ourselves drawn to the timeless beauty of these warm summer afternoons, which seem to hold endless possibilities 🌞

What are your plans for this summer? We'd love to hear about the adventures you're looking forward to.
