Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!

Being able to see clearly and easily is key to a child’s success in school. If you can’t see what’s going on, how can you possibly learn? As many as one in four kids won’t be able to see properly as they head back to school. Annual eye exams can help undetected vision problems to be caught early so that children are getting the most out of school.
To highlight how important eye and vision health is I’ve teamed up with VSP Vision Care, the nation’s largest not-for-profit vision benefits and services company to offer you this amazing iPad giveaway. The iPad can help as several applications are built to boost visual acuity and overall eye health, making them perfect for doing eye exercises and keeping your eyes in shape.
Visit VSP’s website, SeeMuchMore.com to find out what you can do for your vision, find out interesting eye facts, watch videos with Bill Nye the Science Guy, play video games and more!

i didn’t know that eye exams can detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol
VJ
WoW!!! didn’t know that you could tell if a person has diabetes, high cholestrol, etc by looking at his/her eyes!!!
Kim W.
I learned that eye exams could detect high cholesteral.
Robin
I learned that I can save a lot of money by enrolling in VSP.
Christina
I knew about testing for high blood pressure during my eye exam (plus my doc also checks with a cuff), but he never mentioned the check for diabetes.
Theresa
I learned that the eye doctor can see signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol by looking at the blood vessels in your eyes.
Jaime
I’m a nursing student and I didn’t even know that high cholesterol could be detected by eye exams!

I didn’t really learn anything than what I had already known. I worked the last few summers at my uncle’s optical as an optometric tech. I also did billing I can honestly say that VSP truly is one of the best vision care plans out there. I simply was a volunteer because the knowledge that I gained and will continue to gain will allow me to more rigorously pursue a career as an optometrist. By the way it is very true that purchasing contacts for a year could save you a ton of money. Remember, if you only buy a 6 month supply and forget to get the next 6 months, you will not be able to simply go in after a year and get more contacts. The law requires a comprehensive eye examination every year in order for an optical to distribute contact lenses. So be smart and save money by buying contacts for the entire year.
I hope I win the iPad so I can use it in college to do my online homework assignments. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
