Having regular eye and vision examinations are important components of optical care. It’s recommended that all individuals from the ages of five to 65 have their eyes and vision examined at least once every two years. The importance of these exams can be seen in numerous ways:
Early Detection - Regular examinations allow for early detection of diseases, eye injuries, and changes in vision that can occur gradually over time. This early detection gives medical professionals a better chance of successfully treating any issues before they become more serious.
Maintaining Vision Health – Exams are essential in monitoring and sustaining overall eye health. Experts will check for sight conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, astigmatism, near or farsightedness, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, presbyopia, and dry eyes to ensure your optimal visual acuity is being maintained over time.
Providing Education – During the appointment our experienced optometrists will provide you with personalized advice concerning light exposure, contact lenses care and safe computer usage to help protect your eyes from future harm and maintain your sight health long-term.
Everyone should make it a priority to schedule an eye exam at least once every two years. Doing so is key for maintaining healthy eyes for many years to come!
