Routine eye exams are important — regardless of your age or your physical health.

Who Should Get Their Eyes Examined?

Eye examinations are an important part of over all health maintenance for everyone!

Adults
The American Optometric Association recommends adults between the ages of 18 – 60 should have their eyes examined every  two years if they are in good health. Adults with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of glaucoma, cataracts or macular degeneration should have an eye exam every year. Adults 61 years and older, regardless of good health, should have an eye exam every year.

Children
Eye exams for children play an important role in ensuring normal vision development and academic achievement of all kids.

Vision is closely linked to the learning process. Children with undetected vision problems often will have trouble with their schoolwork. Many times, children will not complain of vision problems simply because they don’t know what “normal” vision looks like.

If your child is performing poorly at school, be sure to have his or her eyes examined by one of our Optometrists who specializes in children’s vision to rule out an underlying visual cause.

Comprehensive eye exams
During a comprehensive eye exam, the Optometrist (eye doctor) does much more than just determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. She will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health. ​Also, Optometrists often are the first health care professionals to detect chronic systemic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
