When preparing for emergencies, vision care often gets overlooked.
Emergencies can strike at any time — do you have a plan for your vision? Regardless of whether you wear corrective lenses or not, it’s essential to factor your eye health into your emergency planning. Being prepared for an emergency means taking the steps to ensure your eyes are protected.
Whether it’s a natural disaster or medical emergency, here’s how you can stay ready:
- Always have an extra pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses and necessary supplies in your emergency kit.
- Include a copy of your eyeglass prescription and contact lens details (including the brand and type).
- Identify nearby optometrists or urgent care centers that offer vision care in case of an emergency or eye injury.
By being proactive and prepared, you’ll be ready for whatever comes your way.
