Why Regular Eye Exams Matter
Many people assume that if they’re not having vision problems, they don’t need an eye exam. But in reality, eye exams are an essential part of your overall health care. Some eye diseases, like glaucoma or macular degeneration, can progress without any noticeable symptoms until permanent vision loss has already occurred.
Benefits of routine eye exams include:
Detecting vision changes and updating your prescription
Identifying early signs of eye diseases
Monitoring conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure
Preventing eye strain from screens and digital devices
Ensuring children’s vision is developing properly
