Why Are Eye Exams Important?

Our eyes are incredibly complex organs responsible for processing visual information. Regular eye exams provide a comprehensive assessment of your vision and eye health and offer several benefits. Some of these benefits include:

•           Early detection of eye diseases: Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration, often progress without noticeable symptoms. Early detection through eye exams allows for prompt treatment and intervention, potentially preventing vision loss.

•           Monitoring vision changes: Even if you have good vision currently, it can change over time. Regular eye exams track these changes and ensure you have the proper corrective lenses for optimal clarity.

•           Identifying underlying health conditions: Certain eye conditions can be linked to systemic health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure. Eye exams can provide valuable insight for your overall health.

Who Should Get Eye Exams?

Everyone, regardless of age or perceived vision health, should have regular eye exams. Children should receive an exam at least once before kindergarten, then every year throughout school. Adults should get an eye exam every two years between the ages of 20 and 39, then annually after 40. Additionally, adults with existing eye conditions or risk factors need to see our eye doctor as recommended.

What to Expect During an Eye Exam

An eye exam typically involves several steps, including the following:

•           Review of your medical and family history

•           Visual acuity test to measure your ability to see near and far

•           Refraction test to determine your need for corrective lenses

•           Examination of the internal and external structures of your eyes

•           Evaluation of your eye movements and coordination

•           Discussion of your overall eye health and any necessary treatment plans
