Many people think eye exams are only needed when vision becomes blurry, but comprehensive eye exams play a much bigger role in your overall health. During an exam, your eye doctor can observe the blood vessels, nerves, and tissues in your eyes—areas that often show early signs of health concerns before symptoms appear elsewhere in the body.
Conditions can develop quietly, without noticeable changes to your vision.
Regular eye exams help detect issues early, monitor subtle changes over time, and protect your long-term eye health and wellness. Even if your eyesight feels “perfect,” routine eye exams are an essential part of preventive care.
