diseases, and what regular eye exams may mean for disease
prevention. Rancho Cordova based VSP Vision Care is the nation's largest
not-for-profit vision care company. It's urging the United
Nations General Assembly to put more pressure on developing nations
to perform eye exams as a means to prevent disease.
