Healthy Vision Month: Strengthening Your Practice While Advancing Patient Care

This month, three simple initiatives can deliver meaningful value for both your patients and your practice. 

Elevate Visibility and Trust with the American Diabetes Association^® (ADA) Badge
Patients increasingly seek providers who demonstrate a commitment to quality care.* The ADA Badge helps you easily showcase those efforts on the vsp.com Find a Doctor Directory, which receives hundreds of thousands of visitors each month. Plus, you can earn complimentary, COPE-accredited CE in the process of attaining your badge.

By earning the ADA Badge, your practice can:

• Increase visibility to patients searching for providers
• Build trust before the first appointment is ever scheduled
• Differentiate your practice with a few simple steps

Get Patients Engaged in Their Health with the American Diabetes Association 60-Second Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test
Engaged patients are more likely to schedule and keep eye exams. The 60-Second Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test helps spark meaningful conversations by educating patients about personal risk factors to their vision and whole-body health.

Encouraging patients to complete the risk test can:

• Increase patient awareness between the connection of diabetes and eye health
• Support earlier intervention through awareness and education
• Create a clear pathway from risk awareness to exam scheduling

Patients can access the risk test at vsp.com/risktest, or you can download copies to distribute in your practice.

Reinforce the Value of Comprehensive Eye Exams
Annual eye exams remain central to protecting both vision and overall health. Healthy Vision Month is an ideal time to remind patients that even without symptoms, regular exams are essential.

Promoting the importance of scheduling eye exams helps:

• Maintain consistent appointment volume
• Support continuity of care and early detection
• Reinforce your role as a primary point of contact for eye and overall health

Simple reminders—whether through digital communications or in office materials—can prompt patients to take action. Leverage the Healthy Vision Social Toolkit to encourage your patients to come in for a visit.

Make Healthy Vision Month Work for You
Healthy Vision Month is more than awareness—it’s an opportunity to strengthen your practice with minimal effort and maximum impact. 

These tools are designed to fit seamlessly into your existing workflow—helping you focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care and growing a healthy, resilient practice.
