Preventive Care: 3 Years of Pulse Report Insights, One Clear Opportunity for Payers

For the past three years, insights from the SKYGEN Pulse Reports have distilled a clear theme across the healthcare landscape: preventive dental and vision care is essential. Consumers appreciate its value, providers depend on it to drive better outcomes, and brokers champion it for their clients. Still, despite this widespread consensus, actual access and usage lag behind the ideal. For payers, this persistent gap isn't just a hurdle—it’s a powerful opportunity to step forward and make a difference.

Early Detection in Vision Care Catches the Eyes of Payers

It’s said that a person’s eyes are the windows to the soul—and it’s also becoming clear that eyes offer an important look into whole-body health. Vision care providers can be the first to detect early signs of serious systemic diseases. In fact, there’s an emerging field of oculomics developing around use of eye scans to identify and detect heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, risk of stroke, sickle cell anemia and other conditions at an early stage. There’s also research indicating eye scans could help identify risk of Alzheimer's much earlier than ever. Dramatic growth in recent years of artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic tools and analysis is helping drive this trend.

Faces We Won’t Forget: Highlights from Tanzania and Kenya

Seven years ago, having your eyes tested and getting glasses was very difficult in Tanzania. The few optometrists there were—one for every 250,000 people—were out of reach for the country’s mostly rural population.

To create much-needed access to vision care, the SKYGEN International Foundation began bringing free vision testing and prescription eyeglasses to Tanzania through mobile clinics. We reached a milestone this year: As of November 30th, we’ve given 337,371 vision tests and distributed 107,111 free pairs of prescription glasses, reading glasses and sunglasses in Tanzania and Kenya. We’ve also added wellness testing to our services.
