Sorry, but everyone should go to their optometrist every year (and it should be fully covered). I've had to skip years myself because of finances/lack of insurance and more recently because I decided catching COVID would be worse.

But eye doctors can detect diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, certain autoimmune diseases, certain cancer, etc. Your eye exam is not just about checking to see if you need glasses. Glaucoma can show up even in those with low genetic risk.

Please get your eye exam if it's at all possible.
