Among all of the other steps you take to keep your family healthy, be sure that you don’t overlook eye exams. These are essential to your eye health and your overall quality of life. Learn more about how regular eye exams can help with this quick guide provided by Dr. Ariel Lenning, Dr. Richard Ahrens, and Dr. Gina Mills at Ahren’s Valley Eyeworks.
Vision Changes
Your vision isn’t static – it changes throughout life. Oftentimes, we become accustomed to how our eyes see without realizing that there is a problem. To keep your family seeing you well, it’s vital to schedule regular eye exams. We recommend scheduling annual exams. Some conditions require more frequent examinations.
Sometimes Symptoms Don’t Show Up Early Enough
Most eye conditions will present themselves through specific symptoms – and sometimes early enough for you to do something about them. Others may not present symptoms until the condition is too far along for corrective treatment. Regular eye care appointments can detect signs before any symptoms have a chance to show.
Screening for Other Issues
Did you know that your eye doctor can detect more than just vision problems? Some medical issues like diabetes, blood pressure problems, and even multiple sclerosis can impact your eyes. When they do, your eye doctor can often see the signs – sometimes earlier than a regular physician.
Pediatric Visits Don’t Tell All
When you take your child into the pediatrics department for a check-up, they’ll get a basic vision screening. This helps determine if there are any issues, but it’s not a comprehensive exam. In addition to regular pediatric visits, your child will need a full eye exam.
