The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

Regular eye examinations are vital for maintaining good vision and overall eye health. Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, develop gradually without noticeable symptoms in their early stages.

During a comprehensive eye exam, your optometrist will not only determine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses but will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together, and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.

Experts recommend that adults have their eyes tested every two years, and annually after age 60. However, individuals with existing eye conditions or risk factors may need more frequent examinations.
