August is National Eye Exam Month!
.jpg)
The Westborough Lions Club would like to remind everyone that August is National Eye Exam Month! Ophthalmologists recommend periodic eye exams every 2-4 years for folks aged 40 to 65 and every 1 to 2 years after age 65. Getting a simple checkup can greatly lower your risk of irreparable eye damage and can reveal other health issues such as diabetes, glaucoma, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Don't wait! Make your appointment today!
