The Importance of Annual Eye Exams with Dr. Jenn Chinn

They say the eyes are windows into the soul, but really, they’re like windows into your overall health, and may help reveal health conditions before symptoms even show up. We're chatting with Dr. Jenn Chinn, an optometrist and glaucoma-certified optometric physician, about why an annual eye exam is so much more than a vision check. Did you know you can have 20/20 vision and still may have eye problems lurking? From glaucoma screening to why sunglasses are sunscreen for your eyes, Dr. Chinn explains what's really happening during that appointment. Plus, she answers your burning questions about dilated pupils, blue light glasses, and when kids should start getting eye exams!
