Knowing the signs of a stroke is the first step in stroke prevention. A stroke, sometimes called a "brain attack," occurs when blood flow to an area in the brain is cut off. The brain cells, deprived of the oxygen and glucose they need to survive, die. If a stroke is not caught early, permanent brain damage or death can result. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. It's also one of the top causes of disability. https://wb.md/3PJB6YB

With June 6th recognized as Visually Impaired People Day, now is a good time to discuss how Medicare approaches vision care.

Original Medicare (also known as Medicare Parts A and B) is designed primarily as medical insurance.

However, Medicare Advantage plans usually do include coverage for routine eye exams.

Swipe for a brief overview of what Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans cover when it comes to vision care and eye health.
