Why Get Routine Eye Exams?

The American Optometric Association recognizes the value of routine eye exams. Even if you do not have any concerns about your eyes, seeing your eye doctor can maintain your eyes’ optimal function. Children, teens, and adults can have routine eye exams. If you want to start your routine eye checks, here’s what you should know.

 

Detect Glaucoma Early



Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that works silently in deteriorating your vision. There are no symptoms for this eye condition in its early stages, so therefore, there is no way to alert the patient that something is wrong until it is too late. By then, it would be difficult to prevent it from causing vision loss. Yet, with routine eye checks, your eye doctor can spot the signs of glaucoma at its onset. Your eye doctor can check your eye pressure and other telling factors.

 

Help Students Achieve More in School


 

Studies show that 80 percent of learning needs good vision. That is why parents should strive to give their children good eye health. The only way to do this is through routine eye checkups. Parents must give more attention to eye health since screen time is increasing during the pandemic.

 

Online classes are dominating the academic world. After classes, students tend to their mobile gadgets. Routine eye exams will make it easier for them to fulfill their homework and extracurricular activities as well. Clear vision makes students excel and stay safe.


 

Aid in Battling Myopia


 

Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a growing problem. Students are often the ones who develop this eye condition at an early age. Close work like writing, reading, problem-solving, and computer tasks lead to myopia. Routine eye checks can help this eye disorder. Your eye doctor will prescribe eyeglasses that can correct nearsightedness. Without treatment, nearsightedness can lead to more serious eye issues later in life.

 

Better Than Vision Screenings


 

Many people think of vision screenings as quick tests for confirming good eyesight. Vision screenings cannot prevent, diagnose, and treat eye conditions. They can only spot some vision issues in need of more attention. That is why vision screenings cannot give the final decision when it comes to vision health.

 

Routine eye exams can detect, diagnose, and start the treatment for your eye issues. An ophthalmologist or optometrist performs these exams. Special equipment and strategies help your eye doctor complete these tests. By the time you leave the clinic, you will have a clearer perception of your eye health.

 

Detect Serious Diseases


 

Routine eye exams also enable your eye doctor to see if you have developing chronic diseases. Blood vessels in your retina reflect the health of the rest of your body. Your eye doctor can use the retinal blood vessels to see if you have diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. You can then go to your doctor and confirm this. Early detection can start proper treatments right away.
