Comprehensive Eye Exams
Schedule your Comprehensive Eye Exam today! A yearly eye exam is important for several reasons:
Early detection of eye diseases: Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, can develop without noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Regular exams can help detect these conditions early when they are most treatable.
Vision changes: Your vision can change over time due to age, health issues, or lifestyle factors. An annual exam allows for timely updates to your prescription for glasses or contact lenses to ensure optimal vision.
Overall health assessment: Eye exams can reveal signs of systemic health issues, such as diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions that may not have eye-related symptoms. This can lead to early treatment and management.
Preventing eye injuries: Eye care professionals can provide guidance on proper protective eyewear and habits to minimize the risk of eye injuries, especially for those engaged in activities that pose risks.
Monitoring existing conditions: If you have a pre-existing eye condition, regular exams are vital to monitor its progression and adjust treatment as necessary.
Screening for color blindness and binocular vision issues: Yearly exams can help identify problems with color perception and binocular coordination, which are essential for activities like driving.

During an annual eye exam, the front surface and surrounding regions of the eye are assessed to screen for dry eye, an increasingly prevalent condition in today’s digital society.
