This is a sponsored post and giveaway. All thought are our own. I wear glasses. When I don’t wear glasses it’s obvious because my eyes squint, after a while I look tired and I’m far less handsome….or so I’m told. When I was 17 I needed glasses, I expect the same from our children, but they’ve already had their eyes check out. VSP is the nation’s largest non-profit vision care company and their members save an average of $330.
We’ve been putting off our next visit to the eye doctor. In early October we were going that week. That got delayed by family visiting. In mid October we were going, but that got pushed back by the children. Now it’s 1.5 months past the time I meant to schedule it and I can’t read the multiple books that I need to review. Dang.
The giveaway is for a pair of designer eyeglass frames. They’ll have a value of over $100, but this ends quickly and you’ll need to respond ASAP if you’re the winner.
I know that annual eye exams are important to their overall health. It’s odd to talk about my eyes in the third person, isn’t it? Those eye exams can detect chronic healthy conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and others.
Our kids have had their eyes checked out, have yours? Because I know that my vision is less than perfect my family’s vision is important.
The recommended ages for children to get their eyes check out is 6 months, then again at 3 years old, before kindergarten and annually after that. Oh, and those in-school screenings don’t provide the same level of care as a eye exam.
Exit stat: 1 in 4 children has an undetected problem that impacts their learning. In other trivia did you know that Boise City, ID is the number 1 eye-healthy city for kids in the U.S?
VSP Vision Care has 30,00 eye care providers and over 66 million members. Their members save real money and, more importantly, help their vision which can do so much more. It’s a way to find local optometrists, dig access to glasses with dozens of styles and use as a resource. There are some myths about eyecare and VSP tries to dispel some of them too.
Through #SeeMuchMore people can find out how much you’ll save, the benefits of enrolling (other than saving money..), maintaining healthy vision, play some games and more.
Because sight is so important, VSP is giving away up to $50,000 to train a guide do to a veteran who is blind or who has low vision. They’ve partnered with America’s VetDog in the process. Having worked with guide dogs to an extent I know how hard they are to find and what a difference they can make in someone’s life. Also, just by sharing the video on social media you’ll be earning money to go towards the goal.
