Public Vision Awareness Resources
The Public Vision Awareness Committee provides relevant and educational materials to our doctors to help educate their community. Ideas to cover include: back to school eye exam importance, food benefits on eye health, UV safety tips, etc. This committee will also take responsibility for projects bringing awareness to the importance of eye health in Minnesota. Check out all of the vision resources available to you below. Links route you to assets created by the Minnesota Optometric Association to use freely for your practice's social media and office.
