The stress and physical demands of caregiving place older caregivers at risk for health problems of their own. Even adult children who have assumed a caregiver role for their parents while juggling work and raising children face an increased risk for depression, chronic illness and a decline in quality of life.
Research has shown that despite these risks, caregivers of any age are less likely than non-caregivers to practice preventive healthcare and will postpone or fail to make medical appointments for themselves. That’s why SNEAD EYE GROUP strongly encourages caregivers to schedule an annual eye exam. This one simple appointment can address visual loss issues which may affect the ability to care for another person, as well as detect other health concerns you yourself may not be aware of.
Remember, it is not selfish to focus on your own needs and desires when you are a caregiver-it’s an important part of the job.
If you’re a caregiver, remember to take care of yourself and call our office today to schedule your annual eye exam – or encourage a caregiver you know to do so. With two convenient locations in Naples and Fort Myers, there’s no reason to put it off any longer.

Keratoconus and Importance of Vision Insurance
[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.13.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Keratoconus is an eye disorder in which the cornea becomes misshapen and can lead to double vision, distorted vision, blurred or streaked vision and sensitivity to light. In the early stages symptoms might be similar to those of any other refractive defect. With the progression of the disease however, eyesight deteriorates, sometimes quickly. Visual sharpness becomes impaired both near and far, and night vision is typically bad.Dr. Jay S. Rosen, board certified optometric physician with SNEAD EYE GROUP, is trained in hard to fit corrective lenses which allow patients suffering from Keratoconus to drive legally and function in daily life. Whenever you notice a change in vision, you should consult with an eye care physician as quickly as possible. SNEAD EYE GROUP physicians are highly trained and experienced in diagnosing and treating issues such as keratoconus which could lead to further deterioration if left unattended.
Vision Insurance. Do I need it?
If you’re confused about the difference between vision and medical insurance, you’re not alone. Because vision insurance is supplemental to regular health insurance, it can be difficult to understand which benefits are included and which ones must be purchased.Insurance companies sometimes handle routine eye exams differently than medical eye exams. Your medical insurance may cover a medical eye problem, but not pay for the exam if it is a “routine” eye exam for near sightedness for example. Many vision plans also provide coverage for glasses and contact lenses.
In addition, some medical insurance will cover one routine eye exam every two years in addition to covering an eye exam that is for a medical eye problem. Study your policy as plan coverage varies.
If you have concerns about your eye health, but you also need new glasses, your eye doctor may charge you a refraction fee. Insurance companies usually separate the components of an eye exam, one being the comprehensive exam and the other being the refraction. Typically, vision insurance policies usually cover both the eye exam and the refraction, while medical policies cover the exam only.
If you have questions about your vision insurance or your need for it, feel free to consult with a SNEAD EYE GROUP representative who can assist you. Life is busy enough. Worrying about your vision insurance shouldn’t complicate matters!
