The good news is that 75% of blindness is preventable through routine eye health exams.<\/p>\n<p>The role of optometrists is to preserve patients\u2019 eye health by preventing diseases that can cause vision loss from progressing in the first place. Optometrists like Dr. Asgarpour&nbsp;work to prevent eye damage and diseases that can cause blindness, in addition to ensuring that patients\u2019 eyesight is optimized.\u202fThe eyes also serve as &#8216;windows to the body&#8217;, allowing the Optometrist the ability to get a glimpse of the overall health of their patients through an examination of the eyes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his optometry practice, Dr.&nbsp;Asgarpour&nbsp;provides valuable support to Clearly\u2019s Vision Ambassador team as he is passionate about sharing the importance of preventative eye health and maintaining a regular eye exam schedule to ensure healthy eyes.<\/p>\n<p>He also regularly participates in&nbsp;our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.changetheview.org\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Change the View<\/a>&nbsp;projects, which aim to provide visually impaired individuals around the world with prescription glasses and UV protection sunglasses, as well as eye health education.<\/p>\n<h2>Justin&nbsp;Asgarpour\u2019s impactful journey at Clearly<\/h2>\n<p>Since the beginning of&nbsp;our partnership with&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Asgarpour, we\u2019ve used our e-commerce platform to work together to bring an emphasis to the importance of eye health.
