As the year begins to wind down, it’s easy to let eye care slip to the bottom of your to-do list. However, scheduling an eye exam before the end of the year comes with many advantages. At Palisade Eye, we encourage our patients to make their vision a priority.
Why You Should Schedule Your Eye Exam Now
Use Your Vision Insurance Benefits Before They Expire: Many vision insurance plans reset at the beginning of the year, meaning you lose any unused benefits. If you have coverage for an eye exam, prescription glasses, or contact lenses, now is the time to make the most of it. Don’t let your hard-earned benefits go to waste—schedule your exam and update your prescription before your plan renews.
Catch Changes in Vision Early: Over time, your vision can change without you noticing. You may be slowly adapting to blurry vision, frequent headaches, or eye strain. An eye exam allows your optometrist to check for changes in your vision and update your prescription if necessary. Early detection of vision issues helps prevent long-term damage and ensures you’re seeing as clearly as possible.
Prepare for a Screen-Filled Holiday Season: With the holiday season approaching, many of us spend more time looking at screens—whether it’s shopping online, working remotely, or enjoying some downtime with digital entertainment. An eye exam now can help ensure your eyes are ready for increased screen time. Your optometrist can also offer tips on reducing eye strain from prolonged screen use.
What to Expect During an Eye Exam
During your visit, our team will perform a comprehensive eye exam, including tests to assess your visual acuity, eye health, and overall eye function. We’ll also check for signs of common conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, which can develop without noticeable symptoms.

Don’t wait until next year to take care of your vision. Whether you’re due for a routine check-up or you’ve noticed changes in your eyesight, now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment. Contact us to book your eye exam today. Let’s ensure your eyes are healthy and ready for the new year!
