More important is what UPMC Vision Care can do for your eye health. A recent nationwide survey found that people with vision insurance plans are twice as likely to schedule an annual eye exam than those who do not have vision coverage.

Why are regular eye exams so important? They are the only way to accurately check your eyesight — then correct if necessary. Also, many eye diseases, such as glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, have no warning signs. An eye exam can detect these types of diseases in their early stages, when they are likely to be more treatable.
