September is Healthy Aging Month
Each month, the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO.org) focuses its national public education and eye health awareness efforts on one or more topics. September is AAO’s Healthy Aging Month. Every week this month we’re reminding our patients to focus on their eye health by reading their excellent articles:
Baseline Eye Exam
