Age and health do not matter when it comes to your eyesight. Everyone should have an eye exam. Though it may sound extreme, a comprehensive eye exam can save your vision. Do you really know what is going on behind your eyelids? The fact is, a lot can change without you even noticing. Which is why having an eye exam is so important.
Reasons to have regular eye exams
An optometrist can detect any changes in your eyes
You may not notice gradual changes in your vision. It could show up as a headache, eye strain, sore neck, shoulder, or back, difficulty concentrating, tired, or dry eyes.
A visit to the eye doctor can help you have the best vision you can and help alleviate any symptoms you may be experiencing.
An optometrist can Detect eye issues
By looking into your eyes an optometrist can detect many early signs of diseases and conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and even Alzheimer’s Disease. Many times these issues don’t have any symptoms in their early stages.
For instance, diabetes can cause swelling in the macula and bleeding or small blood vessel leaks in the eye, this can lead to vision problems and even loss of eye sight. One-third of those living in the United States are unaware they even have diabetes, the comprehensive exam by the doctors at Lake Nona Eye Care may detect the disease before your primary doctor.
