VA News – Routine eye exams are an important part of maintaining your overall health, especially as you age and the risk for vision problems increases, and Veterans can go to their local VA primary care clinic for a Technology-based Eye Care Services (TECS) test.
Rural communities are currently facing a shortage of eye specialists and as part of VA’s national TECS teleEye program allows the VA to expand its access to be closer to Veterans, so they save time and travel costs.
Don’t skip your routine eye screening. If there are no eye specialists near you, contact your local VA clinic to find out if they offer TECS appointments.
