Whether you’re considering a vision correction solution like LASIK or need a thorough check-up for a specific concern, booking your appointment this month offers incredible advantages.
1. Beat the End-of-Year Rush
The fall season brings a flurry of activity, from holiday planning to end-of-year sprints at work. Trying to fit in a medical appointment during this busy time can be a challenge, often leading to limited availability and longer wait times.
By scheduling your consultation or eye evaluation in September you can get ahead of the curve. You’ll find more flexibility in scheduling, making it easier to secure an appointment time that works for you. This proactive approach saves you both time and stress.
2. Maximize Your Vision Insurance Benefits Before They Expire
Many vision insurance plans operate on a calendar-year basis, and your benefits typically reset on January 1st. If you don’t use your benefits by the end of the year, you lose them. Septemberserves as a perfect reminder to check your coverage and make sure you take advantage of them before the end-of-year healthcare rush.
Scheduling an evaluation or consultation now allows our team to help you navigate your insurance options and maximize your coverage. We can help you understand your deductibles and co-pays so you can get the most value from your plan, potentially saving you a significant amount on a procedure you may be considering, such as LASIK or cataract surgery.
3. Address Summer-Related Eye Issues
While summer in Southern California is beautiful, the sun, pool chemicals, and seasonal allergens can be tough on your eyes. Septemberis a great time to get a comprehensive eye exam to address any issues that may have developed over the summer.
Our experts can check for signs of UV damage, assess any dry eye symptoms exacerbated by the dry, warm air, and ensure your eyes are healthy. If you have any new or worsening symptoms, a September appointment is the perfect time to get a professional diagnosis and a treatment plan for the seasons ahead.

Are you tired of relying on glasses or contacts? DLV Vision specializes in life-changing procedures like LASIK and advanced cataract surgery. Deciding to move forward with a procedure is a big step, and Septemberoffers the perfect timeline to start your journey.

A late-summer procedure means you can enjoy the rest of the year—and the new year—with the incredible clarity of improved vision.
5. Prioritize Your Overall Health
A comprehensive ophthalmology appointment is about more than just checking your vision. Your eyes are a window to your overall health. During an evaluation, we can detect early signs of serious health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain types of cancer.
