Even though 93 million American adults are at high risk for serious vision loss, only half of them have visited an eye doctor's office in the last 12 months, according to the CDC. This makes more sense once you consider a 2022 study that found 63% of Americans don't have vision insurance, as an eye exam, glasses and contact lenses can add up without it. Fortunately, there are companies and programs out there that can help you get more affordable or free eye care without vision insurance.

Our bodies need iron to function but it can’t make it on its own. We need to eat enough iron-rich foods to make sure our bodies can transport oxygen to cells, grow and keep up with hormone production. However, diet alone doesn't always cut it. Factors like being vegan or vegetarian, having a heavy menstrual cycle, being pregnant, having an underlying health condition or even being an endurance athlete can contribute to low iron and call for a dietary supplement.
