Keep reading to learn more about the importance of eye exams.
Many people mistakenly think they should only visit the optometrist if they are having problems with their vision. An annual eye exam is the best way to prevent many vision issues and to get early intervention for eye health issues. If you are currently having vision problems, you should visit the eye doctor, but even if you are not having vision issues, an eye exam should be a part of your annual health checkup.
You may not realize that other health problems can show up on an eye exam. We often think that an eye exam only checks for vision problems, but the truth is there are also serious health conditions that can start manifesting in the eyes. Diabetes and high blood pressure are two common health conditions that your optometrist can detect with a thorough eye exam.
Everyone in your family should have their eyes checked on an annual basis. Our pediatric optometrist can provide eye-care services to even the youngest members of your family. It is important to note that the vision screenings which children receive at school or their regular doctor check-ups are not enough to check for eye health concerns. A vision screening will only check vision, not eye health.
