When the only eye wear you use is sun glasses vision insurance never comes to mind. The moment that you need the care of an eye doctor then you find out what a mistake that was; the cost of an eye exam can easily make one consider just using an eye patch instead. However, vision is one of the most important assets you have and you should treat it as such. Schedule annual exams to ensure that there are no developing conditions (cataracts, etc.) and that your prescription eye wear is still appropriate for your eyesight.
