A policy to help you refocus

A policy to help you refocus. Time waits for no one. As a kid, I could thread a needle for my mom on the first try. I wondered how she couldn’t see that tiny steel eye where the thread slipped through so quickly.
Fast forward forty years, and now it’s me asking my daughter to read restaurant menus or medication labels for me. “I don’t know why they insist on printing the text so small when it’s mostly older folks taking these meds,” I often say.
It was a relief to finally understand the cause of these headaches. The eye doctor diagnosed me with presbyopia and prescribed a pair of prescription glasses. Suddenly, the world became clearer and the headaches disappeared.
Thanks to my vision insurance, which covers an annual eye exam and a pair of glasses, I only paid $20 for the exam and the glasses. Until then, I had been getting by with drugstore readers, but the eye doctor explained that while those are okay in a pinch, they’re not recommended for regular use.
“The problem with drugstore glasses is that they have the same prescription in both lenses, which isn’t true for most people. Each eye has its unique prescription,” the doctor told me. So, the right move is to get your eyes checked by a professional and wear the glasses prescribed by an ophthalmologist.
“You should get your eyes examined at least once a year to correct any vision issues,” the doctor advised. This simple yet crucial advice has made me more aware of the importance of regular eye exams and taking responsibility for my vision health.
In the U.S., 90% of adults over 45 suffer from presbyopia, losing the ability to focus on nearby objects. This condition can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, and many vision insurance plans cover all or part of the treatment.
