Why Are Regular Eye Checkups Important?
Routine eye checkups help detect potential problems early, preventing vision loss and enabling timely treatment. They allow doctors to provide corrective measures and ensure ongoing vision health.
Eye Vision Tests You Can Expect:
- Visual Acuity Test
- Color Blindness Test
- Cover Test
- Ocular Motility Testing
- Retinoscopy
- Slit Lamp Exam
- Glaucoma Test
- Pupil Dilation
- Visual Field Test
How Often Should You Get Your Eyes Checked?
- If you’re under 40 with no existing issues, annual checkups are sufficient.
- If you’re 40 or older, or if you have a family history of eye diseases, checkups every 6 months to a year are recommended.
Regular exams help identify “silent” conditions like:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy
