August is National Eye Exam Month

August 1, 2023

To promote everyday eyecare and long-term eye health, we would like to remind our members that the New York City District Council of Carpenters Welfare Fund provides vision care benefits for eligible participants and their covered dependents. By scheduling regular eye exams, you can make sure your prescriptions are up-to-date, and detect any possible eye diseases at early stages. We encourage you to read through the resources below and talk to your doctor about scheduling an eye exam.
