The Importance of Regular Eye Exams
Regular assessments are essential for maintaining good vision and overall eye health. Many eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can develop without noticeable symptoms. Early detection through comprehensive eye exams can prevent vision loss and manage eye health effectively. Additionally, these exams can reveal underlying health issues, such as diabetes and hypertension, that may first manifest through eye symptoms.
How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?
- Children (Ages 6 Months to 18 Years): Pediatric eye exams are crucial for detecting early vision problems affecting learning and development. It is recommended that children have their first eye exam at six months, another at age three, and then annually once they start school.
- Adults (Ages 18 to 60 Years): Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years to monitor for vision changes and detect any signs of eye diseases.
- Seniors (Ages 60 and Above): Seniors are at higher risk of cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Annual eye exams are recommended to ensure early detection and management of these conditions.
Child-Friendly Eye Exams
Our pediatric eye exams assess visual acuity, alignment, and overall eye health in a child-friendly environment. We offer specialized services like InfantSEE® to provide free eye exams for infants between 6 and 12 months, ensuring early detection of potential vision problems.
Regular pediatric eye exams are vital for identifying issues like amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes), which can significantly impact a child’s visual development and learning.
Contact Lens Exams for Comfortable Vision
For those who wear or are considering contact lenses, our contact lens exams go beyond the standard eye exam. We evaluate the overall health of your eyes, measure the curvature of the cornea, and determine the most suitable type of contact lens for your needs.
Whether you have astigmatism, require multifocal lenses, or have dry eyes, we offer a wide range of contact lens options tailored to provide optimal comfort and vision.
Diabetic Eye Health Assessments
Diabetes can have severe effects on eye health, leading to conditions like diabetic retinopathy, which can cause vision loss if left untreated. We offer comprehensive diabetic eye exams to monitor and manage the ocular effects of diabetes.
Our advanced diagnostic tools allow us to detect early signs of diabetic eye disease, providing timely interventions to prevent progression. Regular diabetic eye exams are essential for maintaining vision health and preventing complications.
