It is important to receive regular eye exams to ensure that your eyes are healthy and that your vision is good. Both children and adults can benefit from routine comprehensive eye exams. Just as you see your family doctor every year, you should also get your eyes checked in order to maintain your body’s health. Routine eye exams not only check for signs of eye diseases and conditions, but can also give you insight into your general health as well.

Our state-of-the-art equipment and comprehensive eye exams can detect health issues in your eyes. Did you know that certain health issues can be detected during your eye exam? Eye conditions like cataracts and glaucoma may not show any symptoms during the early stages but can be detected during your routine eye exam. In fact, glaucoma is known to be a particularly “sneaky” condition. People who do not have regular eye exams and develop glaucoma are often unaware of it until they’ve already sustained permanent eye damage and vision loss.  At that point, controlling glaucoma and preventing it from worsening can be difficult.

In addition to detecting eye conditions, eye exams can give insight on other health issues as well. For example, complications from high blood pressure & diabetes can be identified during your comprehensive eye exam. Diabetes can affect the small blood vessels in the retina of your eyes. These blood vessels, known as capillaries, can leak blood or yellowish fluid which can only be discovered during a comprehensive eye exam.

On top of checking for health issues, maintaining a current prescription for your vision is important. Scheduling regular eye examinations for adults will ensure proper health and proper vision. As you age, your eyesight may gradually change over time and require a stronger prescription. Whether you need distance, reading or multifocal lenses, a routine eye exam will determine what type of lens is right for you. It’s important to visit your eye doctor every year so they can perform several tests to ensure your eyes are healthy and well taken care of. Having an out of date prescription can lead to unnecessary strain on your eyes. Be sure to have a comprehensive eye exam annually to ensure you have the most current eye prescription.

For children, it is essential to maintain regular check-ups. Did you know that vision is linked to your child’s learning process? If your child is having problems reading or learning, it could be linked to poor eyesight.
