About 11 million Americans over age 12 need vision correction, according to the CDC. Do you know if you’re one of them? Getting routine eye exams to monitor your eyesight can help detect and prevent eye diseases early.

The first step in getting healthcare is to know where to go. TRICARE has many resources to help you find the right healthcare provider for you and your family. Depending on your plan, you’ll get care from a military hospital or clinic or a civilian provider.

When you move, keeping organized is key. Between the boxes and bubble wrap, take time to make sure your TRICARE benefits are ready to come along. Here are a few steps you can follow on your journey from getting ready to arriving at your new location.

Finding and choosing a TRICARE provider depends on your TRICARE plan and what region you live in.
