Why should you get an eye exam if you have 20/20 vision? Truthfully, everyone should be scheduling an eye exam every year. It’s not just those who already wear corrective lenses. A lot of people think an eye exam is just reading a chart with a big “E” at the top, or answering questions such as “one or two?” A comprehensive eye exam covers more than just checking for glasses. We check the health of your eyes and test for eye conditions such as Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, and Cataracts. Your eyes can also reveal a lot about your general health! Did you know that common diseases and conditions can affect your eye health? This includes: Diabetes, Lupus, High blood pressure, High Cholesterol and many more! Degenerative eye conditions are common and can be identified by your optometrist before your symptoms become severe or noticeable. If you get a comprehensive eye exam annually, you give yourself the best chance of maintaining strong vision and whole body health! If you wait until blurriness, blind spots, halos or even headaches become a problem, you could end up losing your vision! So even if you have “perfect vision”, it’s best to see an optometrist annually! If it’s been over a year since your last comprehensive eye exam, it’s time to see your optometrist again! Your eye sight is too precious to lose! To schedule an appointment for a comprehensive eye exam, give us a call today at (757) 587-6828! See you soon!👀
