See Guam Clearly, Live Fully: Why Eye Health Matters — Schedule Your Exam This August with Vision Express Guam

August is National Eye Exam Month, and here at Vision Express Guam, we’re encouraging our island community to put their vision and eye health at the top of their wellness checklist.

Your eyes do more than help you see — they’re vital to your overall health, well-being, and quality of life. Whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or have 20/20 vision, routine eye exams are essential at every age. Yet too many in our community delay or skip this simple but powerful step in preventive care.

Why Eye Exams Matter

Regular eye exams do more than check your prescription. Our doctors at Vision Express Guam can detect early signs of serious health conditions — like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even some cancers — through a comprehensive eye check. Exams also help diagnose and manage vision issues, eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration, and even digital eye strain, which affects more and more of us here on island due to screen time at work and school.

Early Detection Saves Sight

Many eye conditions develop quietly, with no noticeable symptoms until damage is already done. That’s why routine eye exams are so important. By catching problems early, we can help preserve and protect your vision. From toddlers to manåmko’, everyone benefits from regular eye care.

Who Should Get an Eye Exam?

Children should have their first eye exam by age 1, then again before kindergarten, and every 1–2 years after.

Adults should get a baseline exam by age 18 and continue every 1–2 years, depending on age, lifestyle, and risk factors.

Seniors over 60 are at higher risk for age-related eye conditions and should get annual exams.

Even if you don’t wear corrective lenses, a visit to the eye doctor is a crucial part of staying healthy.
