Healthy Vision Month 2026 highlights the importance of including eye health in overall wellness. The National Eye Institute notes that conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can increase the risk of eye diseases, showing that healthy lifestyle choices may help protect vision.
The initiative recommends steps to maintain healthy eyes, including eating nutritious foods, staying physically active, wearing sunglasses, and scheduling regular dilated eye exams to detect vision changes early.
To raise awareness, NEI offers resources such as handouts, fact sheets, videos, and a quiz on protecting eye health. These materials help individuals make informed decisions and share information on eye care.
