Eye Health and Eye Exams
Importance of Eye Exams
Regular eye exams help ensure our ability to maintain good vision and overall eye health. Beyond vision correction with glasses or contacts lenses, eye exams detect eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, or glaucoma, which may not present noticeable symptoms initially.
Individuals can ensure early intervention and preserve their long-term eyesight by scheduling regular exams with an ophthalmologist. Regular eye exams can also help monitor the progression of any existing eye conditions and allow for treatment accordingly. Eye exams may also help screen for eye problems related to general medical conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure What to Expect During An Eye Exam
Comprehensive eye exams are detailed assessments conducted by our physician to evaluate the overall health and function of your eyes. An eye exam typically involves evaluating your vision, checking eye pressures, and assessing the different structures of the eye. Procedures such as dilation, which allows for a deeper examination of the retina and optic nerve, are performed periodically. Additional testing and photographs of the eye may also be performed to further assess the health and function of the eye.
