This week, World Council Of Optometry is celebrating #WorldOptometryWeek. Optometrists do more than check your vision—at any age, they assess your eye health and can detect early signs of common eye conditions, as well as serious health issues, often before you notice any symptoms. Your optometrist is here to help you take control of your eye health and protect your vision now and for years to come.
