This photo was posted on a (Female š) Optometrist FB Group. Itās a Retinal Screening of a 22 year old male with no complaints and 20/20 corrected Visual Acuity. Home from college and mom scheduled him a āroutineā eye exam. And itās a heartbreaking reminder of why we stress the importance of Comprehensive Eye-Health exams even for people with great eyesight. The Optometrist immediately referred the patient to an Oncologist because of the concerning growth in the top portion of the photo. Potentially saving his eye and almost šÆ chance she saved this young manās life. Please encourage your friends and family members to see their Optometrist every year. And, if you get a call from Los Gatos Eye Care, Optometry & Aesthetics reminding you itās time, schedule an appointment š„°.
