Don’t Overlook Your Vision Health
When it comes to taking care of your health, it’s important to remember to take care of your vision. Attending a regular eye exam is just as important as attending your annual physical and should be a part of your health routine.
Even if you have 20/20 vision, a comprehensive eye exam can help to detect eye conditions and diseases, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts, before they progress.
Your overall eye health and vision quality are evaluated during our comprehensive eye exams so that you can live your life clearly.
How Often Should I Book An Eye Exam?
Stay on top of your vision health and quality with regular comprehensive eye exams. The recommended frequency of an eye exam depends on a variety of factors but is generally:
- Every 2 years for adults aged 20 – 64 years old
- Every year for adults aged 65 or older
This frequency could change if you have an eye condition or require a contact lens exam, so follow the advice of your doctor.
What You Can Expect
If you have never attended a comprehensive eye exam before, you have nothing to be nervous about. Our team will walk you through the process and discuss the steps that we take during the exam. Understanding what to expect can help prepare you for your next exam and make for a smooth experience.
To prepare, bring any insurance information and questions you may have for the doctor. If you require dilation with eye drops, you may want to bring someone to drive you home, as your eyes can get slightly blurred and sensitive to light.
When a new patient visits the practice, we will go over your medical history, including your current prescription, medications you are taking, and even your family history. This helps us get a better overall picture of your vision health and any potential risk factors.
During the eye exam, we use our modern technology to conduct various vision tests to understand your prescription and take a closer look at the eye. We are testing for eye focus, movement, coordination, peripheral vision, overall health, and more.
