Visual field exams are an important part of routine eye care, testing your peripheral vision to help detect early signs of vision loss from diseases and other health issues. These tests may reveal early signs of glaucoma and other ocular diseases.

Some people who are at risk of vision loss may be tested more regularly to help monitor and preserve their vision.

Your eyes deserve all the nutrients they can get! 🍃 Foods rich in Vitamin A, like carrots and spinach, support retinal health and sharp vision.

For extra care, include omega-3s in your meals. 🐟 Salmon and similar fish can help protect against dry eyes and age-related issues.

Healthy vision starts with a balanced plate, after all.

Whereas perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC) is a more mild and chronic presentation that occurs year-round from common indoor allergens, such as animal dander, molds, fungus, and even dust mites.

The earlier myopia is diagnosed, the more effective the management strategies can be. Early intervention can slow myopia progression and reduce the likelihood of developing high myopia, which could increase the risk of several more serious vision problems later in life.

If you notice your child squinting to see objects clearly, it could be myopia. Book an appointment with Dr. Burke & Associates in Charlottetown, PEI for an accurate diagnosis to help correct and preserve their vision.

Don't wait - early myopia detection and management can make all the difference for your child's long-term eye health.
