    75% Preventable: What Your Eye Exam Is Really Checking

    Did you know that up to 75 per cent of vision loss is preventable? In the first episode of *Perspectives*, a VLRC podcast, host Jennifer Urosevic (President & CEO of Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada) speaks with Dr. Allison Scott, President of the Canadian Association of Optometrists, about why routine eye exams matter, even when your vision seems fine. They discuss what a comprehensive eye exam can uncover (hint: it's about much more than whether you need glasses), how eye exams can detect conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and even MS, and the barriers that prevent people from accessing care, from insurance coverage to the shortage of Canadian optometry schools. Dr. Scott also explains why World Sight Day matters and what Canada's new National Strategy for Eye Care could mean for the future of eye health. Learn more: opto.ca | visionlossrehab.ca
