Sight Saving Month to Run in Kansas During September
Kansas observes Sight Saving Month in September with emphasis on regular eye exams for those over 40 and children.

Glaucoma affects about 12 000 Kansans and half are unaware, making early detection crucial. Regular exams every two years for adults and timely care for children are urged.
