May: May is Vision Health Month and an opportunity to remind Canadians of how important vision is to our everyday lives and our health. It’s important to schedule routine eye exams even if you feel that your vision hasn’t changed. The eye shows more about your health than you think! Eye exams can detect symptoms of serious medical conditions such as: stroke, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, some cancers, brain injuries, and neurological conditions that are often first detected through a comprehensive eye exam. Optometrists diagnose, treat and help prevent diseases and disorders affecting the visual system (the eye and related structures). There are a lot of conditions that can be detected at an eye exam, even before obvious symptoms start to show. These include: Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy, Computer Vision Syndrome (aka Digital Eye Strain), Presbyopia, Dry Eye, Glaucoma. Early detection can help reduce the risk of vision loss and other complications. Taking preventative measures to protect your vision:

You can use the fitness equipment for personal use or engage in other social and recreational programs in your community. FitBits may be leant out with fitness equipment depending on availability. FitBits do require access to a tablet or smartphone to set up the device. They have the benefits of tracking physical activity, water intake, food diary, and monitoring heart rates, BPM, and sleep patterns.
