Preventive Care — Staying Ahead
A routine eye exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your vision, eye health, and overall function. It's different from a quick vision screening; it detects early signs of eye disease, even when no symptoms are present.
Early Detection Prevents Vision Loss
Yearly eye exams are recommended for EVERYONE, although some need to be followed more often depending on their level of risk, ocular history, and family history.
Children & Teenagers
Increased risk of inadequate visual development which leads to permanent visual reduction
Adults
Increased risk of glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases
Pre-existing Conditions
Increased risk of ocular complications with diabetes, high blood pressure, anemia, and other systemic conditions
Vision is More Than 20/20
Having a stable prescription or 20/20 vision does NOT equal healthy eyes.
Your eyes are for life — protect them
80% of vision problems are preventable or treatable. Many eye diseases have no symptoms.
Healthy eyes = better quality of life, independence, and safety
Health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can often be detected for the first time during an eye exam.
