I admit it, when I think about taking care of myself, I prioritize eating, exercise and sleep. I rarely think about all of the regular appointments I need to keep so the people in charge (my doctors) can confirm I’m doing a bang-up job taking care of me.
As a woman who is blissfully embracing her 40’s…. I’m completely aware of how I do WELL in taking care of myself and where I fall short. I do my best to make sure I can get some exercise in. I work to have a ‘healthy’ diet, but I often forget (or don’t prioritize) some basic annual check ups….like my vision. Which is odd….since I am among the nearly 90% of Americans who think our vision is our most important sense. I swear I do.
You may not go because you think you don’t NEED to go – ie: your vision, like mine, was always great.
- You don’t have an eye doctor you trust.
- You worry about the expense.
- You don’t have insurance.
- Yes. I can help you with that.
Did you know you can buy vision coverage on your own? yes. Yes, you can. Once again, I have teamed up with my friends VSP to talk to you about VSP Individual Vision Plans. These plans offer you the same quality vision care, doctor network, and service you’ve enjoyed access to through your job or your spouse’s job.
Need I remind you WHY you need a) an eye doctor you trust and b) a vision plan that fits your lifestyle?
Make your eyesight and eye health a priority.
Happy to answer any questions you may have.
Disclosure: I’m happy to have partnered with VSP to share a few tips with you about your overall eye health and need for regular annual exams. As always, all thoughts and opinions are mine and mine alone.
We all need to remember to take better care of our vision. I know so many people who haven’t had eye exams in years!
I’ve always had great eyesight, so I’ve never even thought about going to get my eyes checked. I guess now that I’m 42, it’s the grown-up responsible thing to do. It’s funny…I take my kids annually to get eye exams, but never thought to do the same for myself. Thanks for the reminder!
This is a good reminder. We definitely can’t neglect our eyes. Having vision coverage makes taking care of your eye exams that much easier.
I love VSP and think thy have the best insurance. We used to have it and loved the coverage we had.
I think it’s so important to see the eye doctor every year. My whole family goes each year. 3 of the 4 of us have glasses, so we really have to go.
This is something I always take care of for my children, but never for myself! I have like 4 different pairs of glasses laying about my house and always seem to just use those instead of getting a yearly checkup. Thanks for the reminder that I need to get this done!
Love our VSP insurance we’ve had it for years. It is so important to get regular eye exams, plus I love getting new frames.
First, Let me tell you your earrings are so cute! And I totally agree that taking care of our eyes is so very important.
I have been putting off getting my eyes examined. I already wear glasses but I think I need a change in prescription. Taking care of our eyes is so important plus I want to set a good example for my son.
Eye health is so important. I grew up my entire life until college thinking I had 20/20 vision then ended up getting my first pair of glasses just before I graduated. Contacts and glasses are part of my everyday and during the week I generally only wear glasses because I’m working on the computer so much. I just used our VSP plan for an updated exam and frames a couple of weeks ago.
I just had an eye doctor visit this week and I’m on the verge of bifocals!!! UGH! So not ready for that expense and change yet. I think I need to check into VSP insurance.
I actually have VSP. It is a big savings since I’m self-employed and can’t get vision insurance through an employer.
Visions is so important, I actually love my glasses.
